Just installed GFB Boost Controller

Well my initial thougths are that it is awsome. I thought that the car felt funny when it tappered off the boost at higher boost levels. I have owned many turbo cars and never had one that would do that. Even my WRX held 14-15 psi to redline. I set the boost controller to 1.3 bars of boost aprox 19psi and man it feels awsome. I did notice that it did go to 1.5 bars of boost in 4th and 5th gears so I dropped the boost to about 1.1 bars of boost that way I would only hit about 1.3 bars in 4th and 5th. I expected this boost creep as it happens in most turbo cars. I have to tell you the car is soo much faster. The car is not pullign timing and feels strong even to 7500RPM. I know this car would run low 13's no problem like this. I would have to say this $80 mod is good for 15-20 dyno hp. I am very happy with the mod. I will say it was the hardest boost controller installs I have ever done. I had to choose to either remove the underbody splash guards and some hoses or to remove the MAF sensor and intake, inercooler piping, radiator fan, and radiator hose. I chose the latter and it was a @#$&%. I believe it was the easier of the two.

Yes, I think fuzzypunks should disassemble everything again, go back to stock, then reinstall the GFB BC while taking pictures of each step.
