Just wondering what the safe maximum turbo boost would be for a UK 2003 STI?

The car i am looking at is a 2003 STI PPP that has since had a sports cat,different exhaust,Roger Clarke Induction Kit and an Ecutek remap done by Bob Rawle.

The owner says it is boosting at 1.5bar..................is that normal and SAFE on the standard turbo???

I am assuming it is,as all the work that has been done on the car has by done by a Subaru main dealer(all the same one),or Bob Rawle,so both well respected,but i am sure you guys know more than me!!!

Thanks in advance

 

I am sure if Bob has done the work it will be safe

 

My JDM STI7 boosts to 1.5 Bar as standard so i guess you should be equally ok with that

 

I is running 2 Bar on mine innit

Sure it will be fine, just ask PSLewis, he's an **** and knows all this ****

 

Mr Lewis, I find it quite illuminating with your multiple personalities. I must admit, a few of your recent PSlewis posts have been, lets say "abnormal" for you. I take it that your personas are having an internal power struggle, to see which one is going to be a dick today.

 

2 Bar WTF

Im running 21 psi, (1.44 bar) and I thought that was too much... I think its time to wind it up some more!

Mines JDM though, make any odds?

 

as said before bob knows what he's doing, 1.5 bar on a 03 sti is fine though

 

Cheers mate,just trying to get as much info about the car as i can before committing to buying it....................been in touch with the garage that has supplied,serviced,and modded it,spoke to the owner(obviously),and have been trying to phone Bob Rawle for a few days but only get an answer machine no matter what time i try him......................hopefully i will speak to him before i go and look at it.

When i spoke to the supplying dealer today to try and find out whats been done/when etc etc i got the usual "i don't think i will be able to tell you anything because of the data protection act",so immediately mentioned the guys name and i got "you don't have to worry about that car,it's mint,anything that needed to be spent has been..................the owner has an open wallet when it comes to his cars,he runs a WRX as a company car,has this STI,his son has one,his wife has one,and he has a new RB320 on order".

So,do you think he likes them or something ??
