Default just fitted gauges wanna know if these reading are right

ive got a 05 wrx with ppp and using millers fully synthetic

Oil press- at cold 6 bar, at idle when up to temp 3 bar.
Oil temp around 80 deg c
boost max 1.3

is it right for the cars boost to back down to say 1 bar from 1.3 when in 4th /5th gear nearing the red line :-s

cheers

Sorry no idea about the oil press/temp!!!

A standard wrx turbo runs at about 1 bar, it will overboost to about 1.3(ish) bar but that is lower down in the rev range. The turbo is prety much maxed out at red line, especially in 4th/5th.

oil temp sounds about right.My 04 spec c runs about 80to90 degrees and 1.4 bar boost.oil pressure is 8bar up in the high revs and i think 6bar when warm. not sure when cold ill check in the morning and let you know.im using sti genome guages,think they are the same as defi.

pressures seem good.

the boost will tail off as well when in 4th and 5th so nothing to be worried about there. This level could be increased with a remap thought
