kinda nice to walk into the service shop and see a display of subaru and evo/eclipse exhausts hanging for sale(they are the suby dealer as well).

our dealer is the same way i bought my junb.l cat back from them too.

My IX only goes up to 17 psi as well. I am pretty sure my guage is accurate as well because when the car is cold it will only go as high as 10 psi, which is what it should indicate.

Yea mine will only go to 10 when the car is cool too. This is what a forum is for. Thanks. I wish i wasnt such a pansy about my warranty i want to see that gauge in the 20's.

This is odd cause my IX shows 17 psi tappering to 12 psi by redline......I guess my gauge is broken or something is seriously wrong.

No, in first and second gear i only see up to 15 psi with a taper to about 13-14. From my understanding there is nothing wrong with the gauge or the car.

Thats true, because there isn't enough load in those gears to produce full boost. In 3rd, you should see your desired boost.

Maybe this is also why IX's gain so much power from a mbc+flash ? The increase in boost is more substantial than we thought :x.
