Hi everyone,

Could anyone pls give me some advice on a 2006 Forester STi im in the process of purchasing. Its the first time iv'e owned anything like this so pls forgive me if i maybe come across as dumb!!! LOL

The FSTi im getting has a Gadget called a AVC-R boost controller on it.
Will the car be better off without this or is it beneficial to keep it on?
The car has been looked after by CarPlanet so was going to give them a ring tomorrow to ask there advice too.Any advice guys would be greatly appreciated as my knowledge is so little on these things. I just want the car to be as reliable as possible but also without killing the fun factor!!!!

Cheers, Ian

 

hey mate the gadget helps you increase and decrease your boost e.g. If you are runnging standar 1 bar boost uoy can increase to 1.5 bar

 

sorry if this is a stupid question but would increasing the boost mean theres more chance of the turbo going bang?

 

car going bang

 

so if its removed will the car need to be remapped?

 

Thats the boost controller set to , ???
there will be a few others on here who will tell you what it will safely run at .. .

 

Im picking the car up on tuesday hopefully so dont know what the boost is set to. absolutley love the car!! just dont know wether im better off taking the boost controller off? last thing i want is the engine going pop!!!

 

Ian,

Why not post over on http://www.Subaruforester.org in the Europe forum.

AFAIK NorthDownsScooby runs his 2006 Forester STI at 360 bhp / 398 FtLbs with the aid of an AVC-R.

 

Speak to Car planet ask what has been done to car ,if been mapped properly all will be fine
