The old Starlet Glanza turbos have a high/low boost switch inside of them 8-)

The twin scroll turbo Legacy's have an 'eco' button on them, pushing it switches the ECU to a separate, more conservative map and runs the turbo at lower boost. The eco map could be replaced however, and a few people on the Legacy forum had remapped them so that pressing the eco button sent the car into freaking insane mode :twisted:

I don't think he was referring to other stuff e.g. sus. :lol: You're probably looking at a grand alone for decent management and tuning.
