Looking forward to seeing the replys as mines is getting fitted and mapped next month on my v2 sti .

I think it will be more what your gearbox can cope with that will be the concern.

It's not really a question of what it can take, it's a question of what you should run given the car, it supporting mods and intended use. More boost does not invariably mean a better result; ideally you'll want to run the least boost possible to get the target figures.

The 18G will, most likely, eat a standard V2 gearbox before tuned to it's potential, put it that way!

Im not after what boost it should be set taking the mods and engine/gearbox into consideration as ive already had it set up and mapped. I would like to know the max boost level that turbo can take because i had a split actuator hose a while ago, and when i noticed it, was when the car hit 1.8bar! The avcr has been set to 1.5 max. Wondering if the actuators ****ed? Makes a funny noise on hard boost.

What makes a funny noise - the turbo ?
