RSTurboJohn....recognise that name from the RS site....another convert I see....

To get more boost there are several alternatives starting at £25 for a Dawes MBC rising to £680+ for a new LINK ECU.

See the Dawes related posts in the Drivetrain section (Just look for 'John Banks' postings) for details of this device, or see www.brdevelopments.co.uk or www.scoobymania.co.uk for info on the LINK.

1st of, get a boost gauge fitted if one isn't already.

On an STi I wouldn't touch a Dawes m8. Too much risk of going lean. Go for a proper remap.

Have a look on the board - don't have to look far to find loads of discussion on Link ECU.
