My GC8 runs around 14-15 psi stock, no obvious controller.
What do you have standard? 12ish??

cant remember wat it ran stock, too long ago

no. i am so confident that no harm will come of it im giving you a no honk guarantee:

if you blow your engine as a result, i will replace it free of charge *




* warning: not a guarantee

Just had a search around and found another thread. 14.5psi is stock for a 99-00 so you should be fine.
Standard boost should be fine with some breathing mods.

thats what i thought because its been running the boost tee for 30k with no probs. i couldnt understand why it would damage ur engine if its running stock psi. the only difference is the factory boost cut solenoid is by passed for the boost tee...

Seriously?

You are all noobs listening to noobs.......And none of you seem to have a grasp on the big picture.....

(ignoring the boost T for a second) Your 99-00 WRX will run lean with a CAI, silicone intake & a 3" system with a STOCK ECU (so much so that you'll be lucky to move it...Ask Damo), if it does come on boost it be lean & WILL ping it's tits off.

Boost tee's are ghetto spec.......They are shit, they spike to fuck.

If you want to risk a $10,000 rebuild on a $100 boost control DOWNGRADE go ahead & prepare to be laughed at when it all goes to shit.

You are mad to think a ball bearing and a spring are better than self checking ecu with defined limits and active control.

An Rs lib runs a dumb 8 bit ecu.....It has a looser emission regime compared to the 99-00 16 bit ecu which runs much tighter control of fuel & ignition (and has limited self learning - ignition timing only), which is tuned for the stock intake system.

Not to mention that the design of the engines between the two are quite different.

The stock boost control system is more than adequate to control up to 1.7-1.8 bar with a decent plug & play ecu...........I'm running 1.7 bar using all the stock boost control on my 99 STI (same as on your WRX btw) but using a power FC ecu.

P.s why would you use a boost tee if you are running stock boost anyway????

closed deck vs open deck?

also should have mentioned im currently running a v2 sti ecu

now rossco i may be potty training here, but elsewhere....

^^ What is that supposed to mean??

I was thinking more along the lines of different compression ratios & milder cams in the RS.

What boost is your Rs running with the japanese v2 ecu?

rossco it would be 13.5 or thereabouts from memory stock (not the RA), but having the dual stage its on 10 low/ 14 high still. the RA runs about 16 stock i think yea?
