Noob Question

Would it be good to get a boost controller on a 06 wrx with a stock turbo? Is it true its already to full boost?

It's not at full boost but you aren't going to get some crazy hp from an extra 1-2 psi. Buy an accessport instead.

a cobb ap uses your stock boost solenoid to controll boost. dont waste money on a boost controller that will probably cause your engine to blow without engine management. with the ap you will safely be able to raise your boost.
