This sounds like a step in the right direction.

My plans are modest for my car. Turboback, 50/50 wi/meth, and the requisite engine management. Unfortunately, with an upgraded exhaust, STi's suffer from boost creep without upgrading the wastegate in some way. Simply running wastegate boost in the case of a problem will likely be insufficient protection for my planed setup.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. What does the Boost Control Valve....control? The Waste Gate or the Blow Off Valve? Perhaps opening the blow off valve would be sufficient? Dunno.


Looking for more suggestions.
