amongst many changes to my '93 JDM, WRX I am installing Power FC and AVC-R.

Will this allow me to remove the 'boost pack'? (??... the solenoid, wiring, plumbing, etc on the o/s inner wing)

I've seen cars with it removed. What problems, if any, will it cause?

Has anyone done this?

 

yes boost solenoid, and pressure exchange solenoid can go, along with purge solenoid..

thanks for your input Simon. Does this mean that it is OK for me to remove the whole tangle of pipes, wires, solenoids and valves??

 

Yes.. and the carbon canister

 

you only need the ignitor which is on the back of the bracket the boost solenoid, pressure exchange solenoid and map sensor is bolted too..

in fact some old photos...

Thanks Simon, as ever 'a picture paints a thousand words'

do you know what the 'igniter' does, exactly? And should I just neaten and insulate the redundant wirirng, and blank the pipe take offs?

<points to the carbon canister in the recycling bin> you have to do your bit for the environment!

 

my understanding is it is like a capacitor.. it retains a charge and is then triggered by the ecu to discharge a pulse to the coil pack where it is converted to the high tension and sent down the HT leads to the plugs to form a spark.
