all you PPP new age owners with boost gauge
Just out of interest what boost (PSI or Bar) do you guys get with a PPP wrx?
I have had a tek 3 aand wnated to compare (more an issue of how safe is mine compared to a factory backed PPP mod )

the tek 3 will peak at 1.55, hold 1.35 to 7k
hope this helps?

MY MY05 was running 15psi with the boost guage prior to the PPP - the this was upped to 20psi when the PPP was fitted. Ignore the actual readings on the guage if they seem too much - the main thing this shows is the increase I got following the PPP...

My04 sti boost 1.4at 4000 goes down to 1.2 up to 7,200
suppose it depends on the gauge, as well i also get -0.5 on decelleration

My std. 05 wrx averages around 1.1 to 1.2bar peak settling at around 1bar. It largely depends on the gear as I get higher boost in 3rd, 4th & 5th, especially if I come off the trottle >3k and then plant it again it'll peak at around 1.2 for a second.
In the lower gears it usually peaks a fraction over 1 bar settling a fraction under.
I'm having a tek3 next month so I making a note of performance etc now so I can measure the difference (as well as hopefully feeling it..! ). This includes stopwatch runs, on my favorite strech of track, through the usual speed increments.
BTW The best bench mark I've used (for several of my previous cars) is an up hill stretch of DC, off a roundabout, where from 30mph (2nd gear) at the first road sign up through the gears to another road sign about 500 meters away. Aginst stopwatch and also noted speed. Obviously this is a private piece of road that just happens to be on one of my regular routes. How handy is that..?
