put one on my old 01 WRX and it made it quite a bit quicker! Would romp up to 70ish then boost limiter would cut in and almost throw u through the windscreen! If u gonna get one would suggest u get it set up properly by someone like AS Performance or the like...

Always set it up with a boost gauge otherwise ^^^^ that will happen!!!
0.1 - 0.3 bar extra is usually ok, just don't go mental.....

In the case of a car running with a standard ECU I'd only use the dawes to limit boost (ie make sure it does not go above what the factory ECU set it at). When you add a decat boost can sometimes spike up above what the ECU is mapped for.
A far better option is an ESL chip or Scott.T scoobyECU. Will set boost to 1.1bar and adjust fueling and timing for UK fuel and a decat + panel filter, no need for dawes device and will run far better with higher boost and fueling taken care of. Be careful with dawes devices, the rule of thumb is to use them only to limit boost, not to increase boost.
