you are stock right? if so, that is normal. i wont suggest the boost contorl, unless you know what you're doing. i woulds just get accessport from cobb or get it custom tune.

What year and model car do you have? Please provide that information first because your User Profile is incomplete. If modded, what parts do you have?

If it's a '02 or later WRX or STi, have the ECU reflashed by Cobb or the supposedly soon-to-be-released EcuTek (in the case of the STi).

Manual or EBC aren't really a good way to provide engine management. The factory provides sensor input to the ECU so that 'smart' changes can be made depending on engine conditions at the time.
