I have a vf35 and a "fresh" ej207 and my latest tune sees me boosting up to 2bar in fourth gear onwards. This is as per my boost gauge which shows like 28psi. I've driven it like this for a month or so (plenty of WOT pulls) and its been fine. No detonation as per my obd2 app. Should I assume my boost gauge is reading high or should I turn the boost down (don't really wanna do this)
It's reading from this hose. Oh and I was told by the tuner its set to 24psi Last edited by dnbosiris; 23-06-2015 at 01:14 PM. |

2 bar is a lot. Even for a 207. Mine hits 21 pound ~ 1.5 bar and tapers off to around 16 psi. I would be getting a second opinion.
A boost gauge mechanical or electrical is usually pretty accurate. using the Perth-WRX mobile app

Ask Sean from ASG how much boost his 500hp gc8 (stock 207 bottom end) was running.

Seems most people don't tend to stray above about 1.4/1.5bar on the 207, however theres the odd person running up to 2bar seemingly without issue. I found it very interesting when my tuner said that the much higher boost is safe so long as your afr and timing is safe as well, which I believe it is. I will keep asking around though.

I thought it had 14mm head studs?
