I took a picture but dont have a picture host so if you want I can email it to you if you give me your email adress.

MY02 TMIC with elbows little bit dings in fins but in great shape. This is not a STI IC. I will take $50 + shipping or best offer. Pay pal only.

What size are the rims and tires?

How hard was the install?

I did and it did't work. I am taking it back anyways. I will find out more info on it and post the info so we can all know about this product and that it does not work.

It is a Turbox bleed type boost controler. The wrx guys put it T ed off of the line that feeds the pressure sensor that tells the ecu where the presure is at. It works just like a needle valve. It bleeds pressure before the sensor so the waste gate will open and allow more boost. I was hoping that I...

Am I suppose to bleed off the air that goes to the waste gate of or the soleniod?

It is a bleed valve meaning one inlet and an adjustable outlet. I was just messing with it and I think it is can't handle the volume that is needed.

I wil try to post a picture later. This is a bleed type boost controler. It has to be T ed in order for it to bleed the boost.

I have it T ed off with L on one side and K on the other. I also tryed to T it between L and M. Neither of these are working right.

This setup came straight out of a wrx and was working just fine.

I will try again after work. I did make sure that it was fucntional before I bought it so it should work. Has anyone use a turbox bleed type controler before?

It shows to turn the screw out for more pressure and in for less. I turned it almost all the way out and got 5 psi.

ok I just tried it and all i could get was 5-6 psi. I am running 8-9 stock.

No my subaru tech said that I should put it in front of the soleniod to full the ecu on how much pressure there is.

I have just cheaply got a turbo smart bleed type boost controler. I pipe the controler in between the turbo outlet and the solenoid that the outlet connects to. I have tried everything and can,t get a response out of this controler. What am I doing wrong?

The bpv is stuck open so I just left it and plugged the vac line for know. It is pretty crazy seeing 20" and more during downshift.

Finally I decided to pull the vacuum line from my bpv and low and behold it jump down to 19-20". Can I clean this valve or should I just buy a new one?

I had a IAC code and decided to find a used IAC and clean it and it works just fine. Dont use carb cleaner on it I think i used brake cleaner. The Iac usaully gets gummed up.

I cleaned mine just be careful that you keep the alignment right . If you have to mark it with a marker.

Ok thanks. I was just trying to start back with the basics to see what I am missing.

I guess what I am asking is the vacuum is generated in the engine and I know that but for all the vacuum lines and sensors it is from the intake manifold. so if i have a vacuum of 10" at the manifold then would that mean that problem is from the engine? Maybe the timing? If it was the timing th...

Where is the vacuum generated from?

I was thinking about it and if I had a leaking valve then I would have smoke during startup or when running or even when I rev up the engine. I dont have a cat it is straight pipe 3" all the way back. I only have 10" vac and mild hesitaion under load.
