I've just fitted a boost gauge to my 01 WRX.
I just need to know if its reading ok..??
on idle its about -0.9
and with the turbo on full boost its about 0.9.

is this ok..???
thanks for any help.

PLEASE....anyone..???

 

I have a Subaru boost gauge fitted to my steering column, in my standardish MY00 Turbo, & get the same readings as you, so they would seem perfectly normal.

 

thanks, I just wanted to make sure I set it up ok.

 

Sounds spot on to me.

 

you need to get that boost up seams a little low to me i have a my03 and stnd was boosting 1 bar but i got a dawes controller and put it up a fair bit, but be warnd dont turn it up to uch or you get the engine light on and thats because of the fact set ecu you will then need a cell fix as i need but cant find anywhere that does um.

 

Same levels of boost as my02 WRX, will be looking to up it very soon though

Further to my previous reply, if your gauge is a Subaru one like mine (Lamco?), it doesn't read in bar but kpa (or very similar) which I think someone previously on Scoobynet said was kilopascals (?) which is not quite the same as bar. However, if you run the appropriate equation, 0.9 kpa is equivalent to 1.0 bar, which is not low for a UK Turbo or UK market WRX.

 

Hi guys, just a quickie, i have an My02 WRX, where do you tee into for the boost, i'd rather not the dump valve?
