Well spotted nick

I'd phone BRD and get an OEM Subaru 3-port item Fit it when it gets mapped as the ECU needs to know it's there

Dont put it on and keep driving it normally until you have the remap. It will overboost massively until remapped to keep it under control.

If you need to put it on before the remap then keep it off boost until mapped

Depending on what mod's you intend to fit you may not need a 3-port, speak to your mapper.

When I added a boast valve it added 3000 horsepower. Took me a long time to save up after I bought the powerband for my motorcycle.

Generally the 3 port controls boost in a smoother fashion......bob rawle recommended one when he first mapped my TD05 with mods to about 225 BHP
