Noob Boost Question

[TheSoundMan]

Ok, so i just got my WRX,

So excited. but i have a couple of questions.

1) I hear that with the car shut off, my boost gauge should read zero. It actually reads -.01 MpA, so does this mean when it reads +.09 MpA at acceleration it is actually at +.08 MpA?

2) I have seen a lot in the past couple of days about the Wastegate arm adjustment. I have read conflicting (maybe) reports. am I correct in understanding that adjusting the arm (in safe increments) will cause an earlier onset of boost, and an increase in max boost pressure?

Now obviously I DO NOT want to do anything that could potentially grenade my new toy. However, it would be really sweet to have that boost kick in a little bit earlier. And I understand that if I am actually hitting +.1 MpA, I really dont want to go much higher.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

I wouldnt worry about the boost gauge they are all a little off. As far as the wastegate pressure goes I wouldn't screw with anything unless you really sure it wont hurt anything. Unfortunetly I dont have much experiance with adjusting the wastegate arm.

yea, i wouldn't screw with that too much.

i see your car already has a couple of mods. if you really want to wake it up, with just a couple more small parts(uppipe and downpipe) and a tune from the good folks over at M+A, you will really feel difference.
