Low boost - again!
OK guys n gals
I've had a fair few suggestions about my low boost problem (MY93 WRX, boosting to 0.7 bar max).
I've reset the ECU - no codes, cleaned out boost controller, checked accessible pipes etc.
I'll probably have to take it to a specialist for diagnosis, may get it on the RR at Well Lane some time.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew roughly what power it would be producing on 0.7 bar - I'm guessing around 200 bhp. It's quick enough for me in 1-3rd, but 4th and 5th could do with a bit more to keep up with those pesky TDis!
The centre pipe is leaking a fair bit, but I wouldn't have thought that would affect boost?
Free Japfest ticket to first useful suggestion!
cheers guys
PS I know this is another thread all together, but there's so many dibates on here about car comparisons, why not just buy the car you want etc... I paid £3800 for mine and it's brilliant fun (only for weekend blasting, don't drive to work). What else could I get for that money which provided such a grin, and I could still get my baby in? And why read Scooby forums if you don't like them?!!!

center pipe may affect boost if its leaking!should really get that sorted.my old 93 jdm used to only boost to .8 bar which i think is standard so your not far short!
93 jdms are quoted as having 240bhp standard so again if your down only.1 bar your not going to be far short of that figure.only a session onthe rolling rd will confirm that.b4 you go tho get your exhaust sorted.
