Advise Re Performance Upgrades

[Wayne Longhurst]

Hi All,

Can anyone give me some advise please? I would like to tweak my car a little and would like some ideas on how to do it without spending vast fortunes.

I have a 06 WRX standard apart from a green panel filter

Have been looking at getting a new Forge waste gate fitted but don't have a clue if this would require any other upgrades.

also the car is very quite would like a little more noise maybe some chatter or something like that from the waste gate.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wayne,

The forge waste gate has increased spring pressure over the OE unit. This will give somewhat better boost control and aid holding boost for longer, however non of which can be made the most of without a simple remap of the OE ecu which would be the most cost effective way forward at this point. The 06 WRX can see a nice improvement over stock with this option. For the wastegate chatter sound you would need to fit ether an induction kit which is not really the best option for various reasons, or for similar effects a aftermarket VTA dump valve. In my opinion both OE Subaru parts work better than aftermarket kit at this level. Bear in mind any change to induction will need to be accounted for on the ECU.
