go for it,they run 0.6 bar standard but can handle 1.0 bar no problem.

try getting a filter and an exhaust and you will not look back

a dawes AFR is a good idea if you are raising the boost level(to make sure you are getting the right amount of fuel).

I have had one on my car since the very first groupbuy on here, how long ago that was I can't remember . Anyway I run a MY95 WRX and have the Dawes set to 1.0 bar. Once set I have'nt touched it since, the car has run faultlessly including a full trackday on a hot day. IMO get one! Its not just the boost increase but the spool up is noticably quicker. If you set it to anywhere below the std fuel cut (and I'm sure you'll find fuel cut) I don't think you'll have any problems. Others on here have raised boost over the std fuel cut (using a fuel cut defender) and have been running fine also, its really a question of how far you want to push it really.

Get a RED one

Seriously, I have had one for a 6 months now, It's OK (Not the blinding increase that i'd expected after reading stuff on here ) but an enhancement none the less.

Mikey

ps Absolutley no problems with it at all that I couldn't sort out myself.

pps Fuel Cut will make you crap yourself like the anticipation of watching a cat play with a balloon! You know it's gonna burst but you don't know when and when it does, you STILL jump

have a look at http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~gavinp/9296dawes.htm.
just fitted one to my 1994 WRX type R/A today.
Significant difference at 1 bar (approx 1 psi below fuel cut on this car)
