boost you're using? When accelerating with "half trottle" I have
about 0.70-0.90 bar boost (~10-13psi), depending on the current gear,
but if I "floor it", at least on fourth or fifth gear, the boost
might climb up to 1.2-1.25 (or even 1.3) bar (~18-19psi)... what
boost am I running on???
Another thing, I'll probably buy the 2.5" exhaust mentioned earlier,
(I'll have it for ~$110) and I plan to take my car to the dyno JUST
BEFORE AND DIRECTLY AFTER the installation, so I guess we'll know
then if it helped at all... It will of course cost me a little extra
when doing two runs on the dyno, but hey, who cares when you wanna
check something out regarding your Subaru... and help your Subaru
mates at the same time...
I'll request separate sheets from the runs and I'll scan them and post them for everyone to see. It might
take some time though, cause we have a regulation here in Finland
which says we MUST change to "winter tyres" in december, and you
can't run your car on the dyno with them. So, it might be that I have
to wait with the installation of the other pipe until february-
march....
cheers,
Miguelito
