Default Boost Controllers

Hey guys ive read the old threads and a bit of talk with other people on the site and some speedshops but still no one can give me the average sort of boost pressures i can reliably put in to my 2006 2.5l wrx and ideas as well as the pros and cons about manual to electric boost controllers , i want to have a sort of set and forget feature and do i have to have the car retuned to match the extra boost pressure !!

Usually in my experience, set it a few PSI under the boost cut. Most ecu's are able to deal with it then because theyve been set up to run at X psi etc.

Don't be in idiot and wind heaps into it....just use common sense.

I've upped the boost in a fair few cars, always under the boost cut obviously, and they've been fine.

I cant be very helpful though, as I don't know what the stock boost / boost cut is on the 06's.

Book in an hour of dyno time, and do it on the dyno if your worried, check AFR's as you creep it up slowly.

He could always change it and say "Hold lovingly in hand, now stoke gently thy ...board, softly whispering 'search' my loyal obediant slave......
