Does anyone know what boost the 1994 type RA (not STi) should be running?
Boost gauge should be arriving monday, but i'm very impatient.

also, what level of boost is safe with one of these (it has a closed deck block if that's relevant!)

thanks,
simon

Hi Simon

I would guess at somewhere around 0.9 bar.

As for safe levels .... I'm running 1.3/1.4 peak on mine (MY00 RA).
... but I have ahd a couple of things done

Cheers

If you put 2 peanut and caramel BOOSTS inside the airbox i think it will be fine.
