Default ecutek boost

Hi all,
I have a 2004 wrx with an Ecutek remap, turbo back exhaust, k&n Apollo air filter, uprated fuel pump, what sort of boost should i be running as i bought the car like this and doesn't feel as quick as i thought it would. I'm going to buy a boost gauge tomorrow so just wanted to know what to expect.

Thanks

completely depends on what the mapper set it for, ecutek means custom map but most run anything from 1.3bar +

thanks for info, it doesn't feel like its running that sort of boost. Should my 2 port boost solenoid click as mine doesn't the 3 port on my classic did. Could this be at thought if i'm under boosting.

have been told there are mapping issues with the k&n Apollo, maf too close to a cone filter suffers from turbulence making flow reading inconsistent on turbo cars due to high flow & rate of change, need 20-30cm separation to smooth flow but dunno if true, anyone?

Might be worth getting the car checked.

It might not have actually been mapped.
