fittin a blow off value wont give your car anymore bhp and if your car is standed then the factory fitted value is ok, really onky need to upgrade on a modded car to deal with the extra pressure, look on youtube mighty car mods they test them on a dyno and show you get no more power using 1, most people have them just for the sound they make, guess some belive they make your car faster but they dont, you can phone bailey and they tell you best you would get is 1 maybe 2 bhp nothing you would nitice driving the car.their basicly just a safty value, mine is a bailey is quiet at low revs n just rite if booted, just rite means its not anoying if you had to listen to it all day.

Advice needed regarding V5 and previous owners
Just dont think comparing a standed sti against a tuned rs is a fair comparison, I do think the sti has a lot more potential. On a serious note and past experience dealin with god a mean the dvla a dont think you have a hope of winnin a appeal againt them.your goin to have to be the last and new owner on log book and just explain why when you come to sell it on, a dont think it will be a problem if the car is a good n.

safe boost
At the min my car only has back box, front intercooler and induction kit fitted badly by the last owner, sorted them out now, someone told me he may have cut that pipe as a quick boch job to stop the wastegate cutting boost off, I was going to just turn it up to about 14 +15 psi with the controller till I get to a remap on my list and my finances can afford it.

safe boost
Hi guys, when I got my blobeye wrx it was boosting at 20 +22 psi and had a real nice kick when you put foot down.The other day I was checking my car over and found the pipe to the waste gate was split, so I replaced it with a new pipe, now it only boost to 10 psi with no exciting kick.I'v read on the Internet that is normal amount but it now feels like when it hits full boost 10 psi it's being held back and could do more, so I have bought a manual boost control and when it is dialed up it hits 20 psi again.what I want to no is is this safe or will it blow something and what boost does everyone else run on their car.

question for home mechanics
hi guys.I'm changing my oil on saturday and my question to you who do it your self as well is,does anyone use a engine flush,is it any good,does it remove much crap? I mentioned it to a friend and they said be carefull as it can make a car run bad if your engine is old or worn,says it will remove the carbon n mess things up . Is that rite what he says as i'v never used 1 before,my engine got 90 thousand on clock.whats your thoughts and experiance with using it and how your car runs after.
