The highest I've had my blob WRX PPP is 1.37 but then I think whatever the safety valve is opened and dumped the pressure - oops

It usually sits at .5-.7 in normal driving and then moves to about 1.2bar under heavy acceleration.

All recorded on a PSi3 ECU monitor by the way.

WRX PPP (2005) - PSi3 peak boost set at 1.3bar. Normally peaks at 1.28bar and spikes occasionally in cool weather in 4th and 5th gear at 1.38bar.

0.9 bar/ 13 psi is like standard preasure on a normal uk turbo, ppp should be higher imo, a few cheaks may be needed to carry outme thinks

It should be in the pipe leading from the turbo to the T-Piece.
