Whats the general thought from people what is a sensible amount of boost to put through a bugeye WRX

My current thoughts are 1.25 Bar, this is for all day log realiable power not racing and a rebuild quick as you like.

Would welcome fellow SN's thoughts

Thanks

agree... 1.25 bar is as much as you can run sensibly.

if you haven't de-catted the up-pipe then around 1.15 bar is the limit.

this on the TD04.

I've got a 05 STI PPP with defi gauges and recording gear etc, the turbo goes upto 1.5bar i guess this is standard turbo on STI PPP. Or is it.

What should it be if different.

Thanks

mark shead has mapped it, the turbo is a hybrid twin scroll one done by turbo technics but supplied by andy forrest and the gauges are acurate as its coming from my blitz boost controller and marks laptop

oh forgot its a 2003 jdm sti

im running 1.4 ish on my wrx, been running 1.3 for last 25k, as the car is mainly used as a weekend warrior, its has had a bit of a hard time of it

imho you mapper will choose what he feels is correct - thats why you pay him so much money, to make these important changes and why your mapper choice is so important

hello rich !! who do you reccommend for mapping?

hows it going, I would take my car to BRD Development ( Bob Rawles ) every time, not just for his mapping skills but the after sales and general advice

he is in swindon, im not sure if hes does Evo's thouogh

Neilo

Its a built JDM STI 2.0 block on a twin scroll turbo so hardly a good comparison!!!
