It would give you a HUGE margin of safety at lower boost levels and your engine would actually run better / cleaner. I bet your gas mileage would increase as well on the track. Just a thought! I know you've never been keen on dumping tons of mod money into that car, but if you're thinking about a tune and want to track your car you really need to get a dyno tune. Don't use a canned tune, I just don't see good things coming from that. And if you're putting it on the dyno, you may as well have a meth kit installed and ask the tuner to keep it really really safe and conservative.I might start chatting with AR Fab about some kind of setup like this... I know a fellow Subie tracker just had his engine rebuilt by them with great results and they know their stuff when it comes to Subarus. Meth/water seems like a relatively cheap and easy solution to keep the car safe during tracking, just not sure if I'm really willing to get that deep into the modding game. As of right now the car has plenty of power for my driving ability... I'm more worried about the reliability and fuel consumption.
