Boost Bleed.....

[beat22]

i was told that if you run a vaccum line T'd off from the wastegate andcontrol it from inside that it will increase your boost... im not really considering trying it but anyone heard this before?

You scare me, dude... lol

i scare you? hehe.. no just looking for free/cheap power until i can afford some upgrades... i thought you could get about 18lbs of boost before it will ping on 93..... but the question was would that actually work?

Don't ghetto rig your WRX.  Boost controllers are a dime a dozen.  buy one and find out the right way to hook one up.  And rememer lots of people will tell you lots of things you can do to your car...but when you blow it up/break your tranny/put it into a tree you are the one who has to deal with your F'ed up car and they will deny ever telling you to do it.

BTW...don't run over 16psi.  Do you have a boost gauge yet? 

If you want power in a wrx the path is pretty simple...get rid the cat in the upipipe.  Get rid of the car in the down pipe.  get a reflash.   
Oh yeah...b4 you go too crazy please tell me you are not still on re-92's.  If you are replacing them should high up on your mod list.  They suck. haha

good luck and remember NASIOC.COM has a ton of info on it.  Don't believe everything you hear on there but if you sift through enough you'll find what you need.

Just wait until you can do it the right way 
Just cause maybe 1 or 2 guys got lucky and didn't ruin thier motors by using a half-ass setup, doesn't mean it's not going to ruin yours...
Byron pretty much summed it up.
There's some very safe ways of adding power to your WRX... this isn't one of them

Who needs a wastegate anyway? Just do the Wastegate delete mod...

Also, empty your blinker fluid and take out your muffler bearings, you don't need them.










all in good fun.

i already got rid of my blinker fluid and muffler bearings (weight reduction), ive upgraded to potenza s003's.. seem pretty grippy so far, ive got boost, a/f, and egt so far and it seems like it has about 13psi at 5500 WOT.. Sound right?... i dropped the boost bleed idea already i bought a turboxs manual boost controlled off my buddy so im putting that in tonight

cool, just keep it under 16 psi until you get some engine management.  sounds like you have a good start though, glad to hear it.
