Cruise Control uses boost

Did you know that you can go full boost in Cruise control. If say you set cruise control to like 65 and you start going up hill, the cruise control will notice this and go full boost quickly to bring you up to your desired speed.
Just reminescing to when I was able to drive my Legacy, that's all.

cruise control doesn't actuate boost.
cruise control gets more aggressive on the throttle when you're further from your target speed; so when you start going uphill, it opens the throttle more and more to try and get you to target speed.
the load placed on the engine (by going uphill) is what causes the turbo to build boost.

Right on
Place your foot lightly on the accelerator when the hill really
steepens. You can feel the cruise control pull the pedal
down. Sometimes right to the floor.
This drives the boost up.

Right, that's what I was saying, maybe not clearly tho. I was surprised when fullboost was achieved because acceleration was being controlled by cruise control, tho the load on the engine makes boost not the cruise control itself. It was just a pleasent surprise.

That bugs me. One of a few reasons I'm glad to be getting a bigger turbo

If I get a new turbo you can have my old one, Laurel. Unless you're upgrading from a stock legacy turbo then that would make no sense...

With the 16G, when I had cruise control, it would never go on-boost. It was great.
I hate going on-boost in 5th. Not sure why, I just hate doing it.
