Will get you a boost plot in the next few days
I would imagine traction to be a serious issue as soon as you pull north of 12 psi. What do you plan to do with the new found power? Fatties and skinnies and some drag strip runs? Race @lexusb3 in Mexico?

1st and 2nd are worthless after 12 psi.

The 15 psi map is not that bad. Hooks in third most of the time.

The 18 psi map, just forget it... Hooks in 4th, but man when it hooks...

I will try to implement boost by gear, 10 1st, 12 2nd, 15 3rd, 18 after that.

Plan just some drag strip fun, occasional Mexico run. I still want to do a road course day, but at WG pressure, 10 psi.

I will, I promise. Just getting over the hump of new baby in house. But you bet I will do it.

Oh funny nugget, went to a local dealer "unveiling of the new STI". They had a car show and I didn't even cared to enter, I had just drove and come back to Orlando so you know how the car looked.... Registered last minute, took second and won $250 on Subaru parts. Almost won first which was an Xbox One.

I've been trying to think what to get even made a thread on the BRZ general forum section, but I'm almost resigned to get the Subwoofer. Nothing else is appealing at all...

Awesome. Did the subwoofer ever come out? I don't think I have ever seen it in a BRZ, but I wanted it as the BRZ OEM stereo is really lacking in that area.

I see it for sale, installation manual and all in a few sites.

Just FYI, a 10" powered Kicker is only $250 from elsewhere on the internet.

I only know that because I have that one in my Elantra and I only paid $190 for it, not $250.

I will say that it does a pretty decent job of bringing the noise though.

You are paying more for the OEM fit and OEM wiring.

That's true, I immediately stared looking to see if they sell the harness by itself.

I still can't find any other use for this $250. I don't want to offer it up as a trade for cash in the local pages where the dealer people that handed me the paper see me giving it up...

Invest in Subaru oil filters and coolant then. Or buy spare coils, haha.
