Thumbs up Hello & Boost question.

Hello everyone,im new on here.
Have recently bought a Mica blue 95 WRX import.

I wanted to know what boost is safe to run on a standard Turbo please?
I currently have the following engine mods:
  • Apexi Induction kit,
  • Jasma S/S 2.5" decated catback system with 5" tailpipe.
  • 3" decat downpipe.
  • Baileys twin piston dump valve.
Car is warmed & cooled with a HKS type 0 turbo timer & i have a 2bar boost gauge to monitor the boost.

I was thinking of adjusting the actuator to gain a little more power & wanted to know what was safe please?

Iv wanted a Scooby for 15yrs since i was 10!! Now iv got 1...I love it!!
Heres a pic of my baby........



Any help with the above question would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Mike .

adjausting the boost via actuator arm isnt the best way, a safer way is with manual boost controller/Dawes device. this method isnt the best either but ok if you are sensible.

i think fuel cut on the my95 is about 1.1 bar but not sure, search on here will find it.

nice looking scoob.

1 bar will be fine without the fuel cut cutting in.
Dont go over 1.2 bar without changing your standard intercooler

Also if your interested, I have some STi rear lights forsale (the red and clear ones)
