I own a 54 plate blobeye wrx and have had a boost gauge fitted when im driving the boost gauge reads 0.5-0.6 around 4500-5000 revs is this the wright amount of boost for the car or not,

Mods are-
HKS induction kit
Afterburner vortex back box
HKS bov

Any help would be great

Thanks

Sounds like it's running low boost for some reason..! Have you had and CEL's recently..?

Just noticed you don't mention a remap..! That could be the reason, ECU is compensating for the mods you've done and trying to control emissions etc, hence it's probably pulled timing/boost..

a standard WRX should be ~1bar (-/+ 0.1bar) for instance. Mine runs 1.5bar BTW, but then it's not standard..!

 

PS ditch BOV for starters..!

 

Is this when the throttle pedal is planted to the floor? Is 0.5/6 the most boost you ever get?

 

Its the most boost i ever get
