Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

How is boost limited in 1st and 2nd gear?

I'd never install an MBC again....

MBC = pacifier while saving up the $ for an EBC

my car in stock trim pulled 9 and 12 lbs in 1st and 2nd. After my MBC install and LOTS of messing around with it I was able to spike a lil over 14 in 1st, 14.5 in second and over 15 in the later gears. With the install of my Uppipe and Samco IC hoses my boost levels in 1st and 2nd dropped and I havent been able to increase them without passing the 16 lb limit in 4th and 5th. After I get my Cobb AccessPORT I plan on gettin an EBC to hopefully get boost to 15 in all gears.

What do yo u all think?

How does an EBC eliminate PTFB?

The Access ECU sets boost to 15 so you won't need the EBC.

EBC = pacifier while saving $ for reflash. Oh wait, they cost the same, see ya later EBC, reflash here I come.

WHY would you run an EBC with AccessPORT? it's a user adjustable reflash correct?

My ball and spring MBC gets the job done for me too. 1st gear, 2nd gear, whatever: 15lbs. Any gear, almost any time.

Which ones are those? Just curious if these are just blinged up MBC's.
