For a while i was considering buying myself a new toy, Turbosmart E-Boost 2, an EBC with a variety of features, one of them being the capability to map boost against time, rpm or GEAR. Now, I have noticed that breaking the traction on street tires is likely to occur not only on a hard launch from a dead stop, but also at WOT in 1st and 2nd gear short time after going over 10psi. Since this unit can control boost depending on gear i guess we could use it to stay within limits of traction in those gears! yes? no? suggestions? comments?
Since im still on internal WG and my actuator is on 13-14 psi, the EBC itself wouldn't help... Is there a way to lower WG actuaction pressure?? That is without welding the flapper shut and going external.

the bar should go in the same factory location as the stock alltrac one does. seeing as how the factory one is just a solid piece of metal, this would be a cool project/product for jeff, DG, or anyone else that can weld. it would also be a lot cheaper then anything on ebay.
fyi ... we cant use the factory alltrac one because its too short for our 6th gens. you can see it in this pic. its connected to the top of the altinator bracket. .JPG)

The factory all-trac piece just stiffens the mount on that side of the motor, it doesn't actually reduce engine movement, as far as I've seen. Are you sure you are correct that the part you pointed out actually is an engine damper? -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
