Manual Boost Controller

[Jerembo47]

Hello, and thanks for reading my thread.
I own an 02 WRX. I found out after buying my car it has been missing a boost control system. Im only pushing about 8 psi. How hard would it be to install a new MBC and do it without damaging the engine? I know stock boost is around 13 psi. What percautions should I take to do this myself?


Thanks agian!

It's completely missing, and you bought the car? Interesting.

Do not use an MBC without some form of tuning. An 02 is a bit more forgiving than later models if you do use one without tuning, but it is still not recommended to use one without custom tuning.

You should probably have a trusted Subaru mechanic look at the car, I can only hope you didn't just buy a nightmare.

Im in San Diego and the only tunning place I can find is Reese Tuning and they want $500 for a tune!

Start saving.

$500 isn't that bad for a protune and is certainly cheaper than a new engine.

Stock BCS shouldn't run you more than $20 in the classified sections on here/Nasioc.

Don't be afraid of driving a while for a tune. The closest place may not be the best place

You're not that far from Santa Clarita, which has Yimi Sport Tuning, who are pretty highly regarded.
