Whats the general thought from people what is a sensible amount of boost to put through a bugeye WRX

My current thoughts are 1.25 Bar, this is for all day log realiable power not racing and a rebuild quick as you like.

Would welcome fellow SN's thoughts

Thanks

agree... 1.25 bar is as much as you can run sensibly.

if you haven't de-catted the up-pipe then around 1.15 bar is the limit.

this on the TD04.

 

I've got a 05 STI PPP with defi gauges and recording gear etc, the turbo goes upto 1.5bar i guess this is standard turbo on STI PPP. Or is it.

What should it be if different.

Thanks

 

i'm running 1.25bar on my bugeye wrx, peaking at 1.33bar occasional on full acceleration in 5th gear.

 

general concensus seems 1.25 on wrx and 1.45 ish on sti

trying to guage what to set my aps sr30 at on wifeys car

cheers

 

18psi if you have the supporting mods is a pretty good #.

 

as much as the map will allow you to im running 1.9bar

 

std turbo on yours and i presume its a uk is ihi vf35 obvioulsy remapped to take 1.5 bar which is safe on that turbo. and yes it will be a std turbo.

 

who has mapped your car and what turbo are you on???

are your gauges accurate???

which my car???

 

I'm sure mine was mapped to 1.35bar last week.

 

mark shead has mapped it, the turbo is a hybrid twin scroll one done by turbo technics but supplied by andy forrest and the gauges are acurate as its coming from my blitz boost controller and marks laptop

oh forgot its a 2003 jdm sti

 

im running 1.4 ish on my wrx, been running 1.3 for last 25k, as the car is mainly used as a weekend warrior, its has had a bit of a hard time of it

imho you mapper will choose what he feels is correct - thats why you pay him so much money, to make these important changes and why your mapper choice is so important

 

hello rich !! who do you reccommend for mapping?

 

hows it going, I would take my car to BRD Development ( Bob Rawles ) every time, not just for his mapping skills but the after sales and general advice

he is in swindon, im not sure if hes does Evo's thouogh

 

Its a built JDM STI 2.0 block on a twin scroll turbo so hardly a good comparison!!!

 

what is 1.25 bar in PSI?

 

18psi maybe 19psi

 

cheers.

 

Mine's peaking at 1.45 Bar if the Defis are to be believed...
