A turbo requires a certain amount of exhaust gas pressure to spin fast enough to have any effect on the pressure of the air entering the cylinder. At some point during the rev range (sounds like about 3000rpm with your set-up) the amount of the exhaust gasses reaches that level and the turbo starts to increase the pressure in comparison to atmosphere, hence the term 'coming onto boost'. After this threshold is crossed and the pressure is above atmospheric pressure it can be thought of as positive pressure, before reaching the threshold it is negative pressure as the pressure being provided by the turbo is lower than the pressure is normally. Hope that helps even if I've waffled a bit :biggrin:

got it, thanks. :biggrin:

Well I didn't do it today, but I installed my sti aluminum pedal set and then put my fozzie on an anti-theft map since me and my girlfriend took her Honda to see our families for the holidays. Man I love my Accessport. Can't wait until spring to install my vf39 and get the vf39 ots map installed! I'm sure I'll go for a custom tune though...

Installed Turbo Gauge and Engine Coolant gauge (so long idiot light).
I'm confused with the reading on the turbo gauge. When it's idle, it's -22psi, and 0psi on 80mph/3000rpm? BTW, It has two measure units on the gauge.. inHg on the left, psi on the right, which units should it be? :crazy:

I like the idea of putting a engine coolant gauge in my 2.5x just to get rid of the idiot light.

Tried installing a JDM hazard button and got as far as removing the center console off when I realized I had bought the wrong button (for the JDM Impreza). Sigh, shame on me for not checking the forums first for the right part. :-(

So I ordered the right JDM hazard button for the Forester STi and a cigarette lighter off of japanparts.com! And then I made arrangements to sell the button I mistakenly bought to a WRX bug-eye owner.

Installed Paranoid Fabrications grounding kit. It was shipped quickly and tracking info provided. Great seller. Very clear directions, including color photos, are posted on the website making installation easy.

I cleaned the stock grounds a while back because they were dirty but I felt I still wasn't getting the connection I needed, so I ordered the kit. Surprisingly, I noticed a difference after installing the kit today, nice smooth idle and response seems a little crisper. :rock:
