Wrx boost controller install

Great product had it installed in under 20 minutes! Allowed my tuner to lock in 20 psi for my stage 3 bugeye. Recently purchased this 3 port ebcs to replace my stock one that malfunctioned on my 05 LGT. It absolutely blew my mind away how much it opened up the entire system and advanced throttle response. Highly recommend for anyone needing a replacement or just wants quicker response from their vehicle.

Really locked down my boost! Peaked where I wanted it to. Allowed tuner to fine line everything as far as turbo! Installed this EBCS and got a pro-tune. The car is finally pulling as hard as I want it to be. I may go stage 2, but for now I am very happy with the results. Fit perfectly onto the jdm bracket and plugged directly into the harness. Works flawless, very happy customer!! Only took a couple of minutes to install and help my boost issues.

Grimmspeed never disappoints. Easy to fit and works like a charm on my 03 Forester 2. Bolt-on and discrete. Wish the included vacuum hose was a bit longer, and could have used a few hose clips because they are easy to lose.

Very satisfied. Highly recommend! Put the bcs on took about 30 plug n play, mounting brackets alittle different on the 05 wagon, had to mount it upside down , but definelty worth the money. Quick and easy install, very precise boost control with a professional tune , and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this and GrimmSpeed to anyone.

Not only am I impressed with the awesome power and throttle response gains, I must say the customer service exceeded my expectations. Love the BCS without a doubt. I replaced the bleed system with this one, and it is awesome. This item gives you so much more control over the turbo. Now i feel the need to dig out my Controls Engineering book to fine tune the Turbo Dynamics for even better response.

Best replacement for OEM bleed system. Perfect fitment, stock location fast, solid boost response. Definatley a grimmspeed fan. Boost comes on so fast and it holds rock solid. Got mine on last week and had my tuner [email protected] Motorsports adjust for it.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a 3 port BCS! Installed mine today Flashed a new map and the car feels smoother overall. I notice a lot less fluctuations in my boost gauge. Boost seems to come on quicker and is more stable overall. Matt from was the one that recommended it. He also tuned my car and it came out great! Monster td04 with a much larger compressor wheel.
