the ECU is only going to record if it sees something that would throw a CEL. When that happens, it will take a snapshot of all the data so the dealer can see what was hapening when the CEL was checked.

the ECU does not log all the data from your car all the time for no reason, that would take a lot of storage.

back to the original post:

just set it at 16lbs (.11 mpa) and you shouldnt blow anything up. a lot of people run boost controllers on these cars, and as long as you're conservative and know the limit, you should be fine. people blow up motors from cranking up the boost too much. if you're worrying about the life of the turbo, running 16lbs of boost will reduce the life faster than the stock 14.Xlbs. these turbos are a dime a dozen and hell if it breaks, just upgrade the turbo.

have you ever installed a boost controler ? I dont think I have ever tapped into the ECU to install one before, but I could be wrong. Which boost controlers have you seen that were tapped into the ECU ?

dont know how lifting the carpet up would let you detect a reflash either. Also ive helped a few people put boost controlers on there cars (not all subaru's but a couple were) and none of them ever taped into the ECU. they were a few difrent types too.
