Im pretty sure the V5 ran like 16 or 17 but they blew engines so they made the V6 15.2psi for our "at the time" 95ron fuels.

O.k on boost (ie Spool and down shift to around 3700rpm) will see a 16 psi spike @ 4000 then gradual taper off to 14.5 psi approximately all the way to redline. Boot down anywhere over 3000 will see boost peak and hold @ 14.5 psi with no spike.

Love the STI, just been out for a fang......geez this thing pulls like a train!!
Handles light years ahead of my old 98 Gc8 rexy in every way......less understeer, brakes loads better, turn in is much sharper and mid corner throttle response is pretty sweet!

Putting it up in the air on wednesday for new pads all round, will be interesting to see if it has any suspension mods or anti lift kit etc fitted.

Guess so ......I still can't figure out where I got the 17 psi idea from?
