Hey guys, sorry for the noob post and I would search but I have no idea where to even start. I pulled off my CAI today and this was under it. It says Perrin on it as well as boost with 2 arrows.

Ah, that's what me and my buddy thought but I wasn't 100% sure lol. Just came over from the Subaru world and we really don't use those. Thanks for the fast reply.

Remember to not push the up button without proper engine management!

Yeah, I know some things about turbo cars. I would never up the boost on my STI without proper EM so not about to do it on my new Evo.

Welcome to the right side of the pond. I thought Perrin was a big name in the Subby world?

There is a lot of Perrin stuff for Subarus but MBC's aren't really ever used as far as I know. I was boosting 20psi with my 05 STI and the boost was upped when the car was tuned, no MBC involved.
