Google is pretty useful but I'll help here a bit. A bar is an atmosphere at sea level, being 100 kilopascals or approx 14.5 psi.

As such, "smash in 2 bar" means two atmospheres or 200 kpa or 29 psi. This is also, gauge pressure not absolute pressure. Absolute pressure equals atmospheric pressure plus gauge pressure. So, 2 bar equals an absolute manifold pressure of 300 kpa.

I think ...

Stock is approximately 14psi (.9 bar).

DO NOT run more than this without a tune or your dakdak will go BOOM!

P.s it has factory boost control if it's stock.

factory fuel cut is around 1.2 bar of boost

i would recommend an ecu if you want to push it past that.

^^^ In all fairness running more than 1.2/1.3 bar on the stock TD04 hairdryer is a waste of time.

ok thanks guys but ive been told not to go past 12 psi to play it safe from a subi mechanic but people are saying factory psi is between 13.5 and 14.5 psi or are they saying thats a safe psi to run i thought factory psi was 8 thats what psi it came out with stock

thats low as fuck man. im not a bug owner but im fairly sure the factory psi is 14 to 15. maybe someone can post up or direct us to a factory boost list of all WRXs.

1 bar (14.5psi) is factory. You will require a retune of your ecu or a replacement and an upgraded fuel pump. Tune to a peak of 20psi. The pure physics of the factory turbo (td04) will cause it to taper fairly quickly. This will net you an honest 25% increase in power.

A subi mechanic saying 12 psi? They aren't a Subaru mechanic then!

Do not change your boost until you get a tune done. They will set the correct boost for your car.

Stock boost is 14psi peak. Leave it there!
