ecu swap - boost problems

[Charles Baer]

My screw up, the comment should have gone to Dan.  My mind was likely
wondering what the Boulder police were going to steal from my house
next after they took my '83 urQ the day before.

Dan said he was getting 20 PSI normally, with sharp cutbacks to 7psi.
That is very similar to what the little hole next to the pressure
valve does on my sedan.  It did make a LARGE noise when it opened, so
the MAF hose pressurizer tester made identification easy.

Dan also muttered some oath about going to the Subie dealer, sounds
like he's in need of immediate moral/technical support here....

or were you REALLY kidding, Mistah Simoes?
