why what are they meant to run at?Mine runs 21 psi whatever that is in bar and has done since i got the car from subaru near 2 years ago,mines a V5 typeR always thought it was a bit high when folk talk about glanzas etc running 12 psi and mine @21

My MY99 StiV Type R is running 15psi (1bar) which as the car is stock would be the factory standard boost. It has the VF28 on it. Can't tell you what the wifes StiV wagon is running as no boost gauge on it at the mo but it also has the VF28 so expect that to also be at 1bar.

...totally agree, - the TD04 is a top little turbo, with ported oe headers/uppipe you'll hit 1bar as early as 2500rpm.
Top end is the biggest let-down, - after about 5250rpm it's all over in terms of flow through the turbine. 1.3 bar with proper supporting mods and mapping is good for 260-280bhp.
If you go for the TD04, why not port the turbine inlet? Won't give you anymore power but should help boost response, cyl. temps, etc.

sorry for the hijack thread but my car is standard AFAIK and it jumps to 21 psi if i put my foot down and revs hit 3000ish in any gear and stays there till it hits redline....not that i do it that often as its quite scary seein the clocks hitting 8000 rpm just wondering if my cars been played with....or the boost guage is plumbed in wrong
