boost issue
hi all am quite new here but thought id post my problem up as im scratching my head at the moment. i run a subaru impreza sport with full version 4/5 sti running gear and engine wich pulls and drives loveley its had an uprated vf35 turbo, fmic, hks dump valve, blitz induction kit ect ect but heres my problem if i try to run over 9psi it just hits boost cut only ever in 4th and 5th. i thought it was because the fuelling wouldnt be up to running much more but had it put on the rollers and the fuelling was more than enough especially at the bottom end but still loads at the top. the car ran 300bhp exactly wich is very good but at just 9psi its only 1psi over standard.
theres my problem guys any ideas?
cheers

yeah but ures sounded like it was hitting it almost as soon as boost comes on? correct me if im wrong!lol where as you will see mine go over 1 bar and as soon at it does it cuts!
well as far as the guage being out that was one of my 1st thoughts but even the rollers said that in 3rd it ran 9psi each time so thought it couldnt be!
yeah ive heard the same that they can run 16/17ish

It should be 1.1bar, that is 15.9 psi. Are you reading your gauge correctly? Example - Are you reading 0.9 bar as 9 psi? You wouldn't be the first or the last.

and the bhp might be 300, but 260 odd ft/lbs of torque on that turbo seems quite low.. boost leak maybe?through a split pipe or your dump valve? try a recirc dump valve,easy swap before u search your pipes etc
also, strange that your torque dips slightly at 3200 revs? and are you sure he didnt say 0.9 bar? which a uk turbo runs on(not sure on a classic sti?)
