Someone told me that mine was 0.8 bar (93 WRX) but as I've not got a boost gauge yet I can't say for definate. Let me know if you get a confirmed answer

I've recently put a boost gauge on, it runs at about 12PSi which i think is round 0.8 - 0.9 bar.

Hope that helps,

Tony.

At the moment its got a K+N induction kit, Magnex downpipe, Magnex Centre pipe (non-resonator) and Scoobysport backbox.

Don't know how accurate my gauge is so the boost could be a bit higher i suspose due to the mods. I'm gonna have a go at cleanin' the boost soleniod on Sunday cos in the two years i've had it its never been done. This could also raise the boost slightly if its full of crap.
