How much boost?
hi guys, i was wondering how much boost a totally stock 98 WRX can run on without frying the whole engine? i just recently bought a mechanical Turbosmart Gated Boost Control Valve. i installed it and tried running it at 10 PSI, is that ok? or is 10 PSI still low enough for me to tweak it up a little? any comments is appreciated.

14 psi is safe. thats what stock boost should be, should it not.

14PSI is stock?! thats really strange then, mines at 7PSI! what could be the reason? oh no! how strange that without doing anything, the boost winds up to 7PSI and thats that. is it a sign of bigger problems?

The stock boost is definitely ~14psi.. thats what it should run with zero modifications!... dunno why yours would be running 7psi... check your boost gauge!

Isn't 7psi where the wastegate spring is set at? When my pressure lines were on the wrong way around that is all it would go to. Same when the computer changed my advance multiplier to 0. Hope this helps.

7psi, or wastegate pressure can sometimes happen if and when the car enters boost limp in an attempt to preserve itself, in case there is something wrong. Try resetting your ECU and see if it returns to 'normal' being around 14.

the bleed valve is probably still on the same setting it came out of the box with. try turning it

Read it again, he's already turned it and wound it up to 10psi. He said it was 7psi before he fitted the bleed valve.
