The gauge hits 17psi easy and reads into the vacuum...
That's how the car was set up when I bought it regarding the manual boost t. I don't know enough about the power fc to fiddle with settings, I only use it at present as a display of what's going on in the car. |

What does it read at idle? 0? - it should be 10-15 Inches of mercury. If your seeing 17 psi in that vac line your manifold is probably seeing 15psi or less due to intercooler pressure drop. You must plumb in to the manifold after the Throttle body for it's reading to be anything meaningful.

For my first job ever dicking around with gauges and zero help from anyone I'd say I did an alright job of it. At least the way I hooked it up hasn't damaged anything and is easily reversed. Also like to hear your thoughts on what I should do with the manual boost t Rossco? |

Your PFC has an inbuilt boost controller (and overboost protection) that is more than adequate for your needs & uses all the factory Subaru components already on the car. I still run the PFC boost control & I'm exceeding 1.6 bar without issue. I can even set it up for you if you're unsure of what to do.

If you put the gauge tee piece in the right spot, take a picture and update your first post to make the DIY complete.
