Default More aggresive boost?

Ive got a Uk MY95 wagon,
Full decat,panel filter, std ecu, and I`m after the boost coming on with more snap...
I was thinking of fitting a Dawes...I wasnt after whacking up the boost and bein naive..I`m just after the boost comin on stronger sooner?
Can anyone advise me ?

Many thanks

A manual boost controller, such as the Dawes or GBE, will make the boost come on stronger by eliminating wastegate creep. It won't really help to bring it on sooner though...

I`m just after full boost instead of a gradual build up, if you know what i mean?

I do. Either Dawes or GBE will be perfect for that...

And be careful not to wind up the boost..

Fit a scoobyecu M8, this will raise the boost target and the fuel cut and will feel more aggressive

Cheers

A mechanical boost controller is best for that "aggresive" feel as it allows full boost on part throttle. My own tests showed that my Turbosmart also helped spool up 1000rpm sooner (compared to SccobyECU alone) flooring it in 4th from 2000rpm (MY93 WRX with TD05).

Make sure you fit a boost guage and knockling and afr highly recommended

The scoobyecu can also give the 'aggressive' feel depending how the duty cycle has been set on the map and how the Throttle/Boost map has been set

Ive got a boost gauge already,
Does it make the car hard to drive on part throttle?
