What sort of Boost are people running on their Subaru VDubs????.
What sort of Boost controllers??? if any.
I am looking at a Turbo smart Boost tee $90 the little blue one.

I had a dual stage turbo smart so I could switch between 12 and 17 on the dash...It started playing up after a while and now have a GFB also. If you have silly money then get a digitally controlled one...you can have them programmmed for different boost in different gears and revvs. Also control water sprays etc. $500 approx.

I was running 14 PSI on my old VF10, soon as my VF34 P20 is on its gona be set at 20 hopefully.

The autronic ECU my brother is running on his Type 3 has boost control settings programmed into it. we will utilise the 2 stage boost set up like having a boost controller with a switch to have either 8 psi or 20psi. Can also set it up to set boost in each gear which could be good to avoid tranny expiration LOL
