Correct boost for MY97 Sti?
Sure it's been asked before but couldn't find using search - anyone know what standard boost for an MY97 STi should be. Reason I ask is that my car only made 260bhp on the PE Rolling Road - it was running 1 bar and fuelling OK. I always thought 1 bar was the norm for this model of STi.
Should I fit and boost controller - and if so what boost should be safe?
Any ideas would be helpful - I was a bit negged with the power - it made 280bhp on same rollers 6 months ago but boost was spiking - they have fixed this but I am down on power!

Thanks guys - if it should be 1,3bar then it probably explains why I a down on power. I have a full de-cat which lead to spiking/fuel cut - PE have sorted that out - but only running sready 1bar. It goes back in next week and the fix could be a boost controller. If I can run at 1.3bar this should surely see me get back to around 280bhp?
