Well the title kinda sums it up.

Hello I am a first time wrx owner, pretty much here for help and other bits and pieces.

I recently got a 97 wrx with a few mods.

-Exhaust ( Cat has been removed ) with 2 hotdogs that's it.
-Injectors changed to STI ( unsure of what year )
-Boost seems to run at ~15psi ( no controller just a T piece )

That's about it really, but I am uncertain about the boost level though, The T piece one way goes to 12psi and switching it to the other side goes to ~15psi.

Anyway I live in cannington and seem to be one of the very few with green 90's Subi

http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/members/...4799698-o.html - Hope it fixes it

I've noticed it sometimes runs higher than that

3rd gear will sometimes hit 16psi

I'm assuming cold weather could cause that?

I have since switched it back to 12psi

Manual boost controllers all do that - they cannot compensate for air density changes.

Ditch it & get an electronic controller.
