u can't stuff it..actually you can, but its pretty hard..

as long as you have a proper boost guage you are safe (even if you borrow one and rig it in). I wouldn't recommend you muck with it without a guage though. If you install it all, take it for a spin, and the boost starts creeping too far back it off, and you'll be safe.

If you haven't got your S-AFC installed yet(?) and tuned - also be careful dialing it past about 9psi as you might start leaning out with the stock ECU (danger, danger) . If you have a 95 model you can prolly go a bit further in the boost stakes.

I fiddled around removing and putting on a couple of boost controllers (going back to stock, blah). Only time i had troubles was when i put back on my stock solenoid and got the tubing the wrong way.. When it kept spinning past 12 i knew something was wrong so i backed up to fix it all up again :P Without a guage to see this it would'a just kept spinning till nice little bits of ceramics were rattling in my exhaust.

sooo what should i do? get the boost controller install same time as the tuning of the safc? surely workshops will have a spare gauge i can borrow .

Where abouts in the Sth Eastrn Suburbs?....I know of one near chaddie shopping centre......

yepp. very close to chaddy. PM me with the details. cheers dude.

if you're not confident yourself, just get the place that installs the S-AFC to also install the boost controller and tune it all up as one - will work out cheaper that way. A workshop will also use their own pressure guage to check everything so you shouldn't need an aftermarket guage then (but they are a good idea)

You're close to chaddy too ..hmm, i am 5 mins away.. if you want me to quickly show you what u need to do, let me know.

      Fellow ADHDer to fellow ADHDer; Don't chase that paint perfection. Paint the bumpers, and put them on.  Leave the respray for another day. Plus, no one is going to see those old areas above. Any spots of surface rust, give them a clean up, prime, then hit with a white paint just to protect them from rusting. Again, no one can see it.   #Mine hasn't been on the road since 2011 cause ADHD... I've slowly learned not to keep f**king with shit if I don't need to...

      That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.

      Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️

      Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
