Default 04 WRX Stock Boost Pressure

I have an 04 WRX with H&S Backbox. Just fitted a boost gauge and getting a steady 0.85 bar boost in every gear. Is this correct for the car?

I am going to fit a dawes device, what would be the max sensible boost to run without damaging the engine?

Cheers

Sounds about right, standard is about 0.9bar IIRC (anyone confirm?).

Remapped with standard turbo, etc you should be looking at 1.2 to 1.25 bar. Mine peaks at 1.33bar.

That's really interesting - what power is your car making? Mine is 'only' making 271bhp. Reckon the extra boost is down to an aftermarket intercooler...??

At what pressure does the ECU cut the fuel? Is it 16.5 PSI?
