Stock WRX Boost?

[Tyler]

So .. there is a boost controller on the Bee .. and my Lamco boost gauge reads .05 MPa which is only about 7psi. Isn't stock WRX boost like ... 12psi? Can I turn it up from 7 without running into issues?

 

[Pedro]

is it .05 MPA or .5 bar?

 

[akinaspeedstar]

if it's a stock gauge im pretty sure that reads in bar?

 

[Tyler]

0.05 MPa

umm...??? - .05 ??? I pulled almost a full bar with stock 06 STi. Was the pic. taken at WOT, and over full spool?

 

[Tyler]

haha, that's not mine. I was just showing a pic of one so everyone could see what units it was in.

 

[silver bqqst.]

that's at idle and in vaccume state

 

[Pedro]

just to be safe I would hook that up to a different guage to make sure. or you could find someone with a tatrix cable and read what the ECU is seeing.

mpa bar. it's about the same diffrence. .05 mpa = .5 bar= 7psi

which is wastegate boost i belive. why is it runing a manual controler again?

Peak boost should be ~13.5psi.
