Do you have an A/F ratio meter and boost gauge? Its really important to know how much you are boosting and whether or not the engine is reciving the correct amount of fuel at high boost.

If you do then its fairly easy to do, i'm fitting my Dawes device this weekend to my Legacy, i'll let you know how i get on.

If you do a search on Dawes or MBC you'll find loads of fitting guides etc. There is a good website to which tells you all about it whih you will find on search.

Cheers

yeah its fine up to a limit, bassically the more you modify the engine, the more you can up the boost, the rest of the engine has to be able to cope.

I think most people will agree that 15 PSI is fine for a standard car, any thing more than that then you will have to raise the fuel cut, look into fueling, pipes so on and so forth.

I'd do it!

Yeah, with the decats, should work really well should see 10BHP more atleast. Watch the pesky fuel cut though when ur fitting.

I'll tell you when i do mine if i have close encounters of the windscreen type!
