Default Safe boost to run in stock EJ205

Hey Guys,

Have Finally Fitted a boost guage to me WRX,
Not a bank busting one but Drift brand, better than nothing,

Now i just took it for a test run to see if it was working...
And its boosting to 19PSI. Is this safe to be run through a stock WRX??
or should i wind it down?

Cheers
Andrew

Do you have a manual boost control? Might be best to turn it back to 16psi and have a professional set it up for you......

Although it is cold weather so spiking a bit high is a possibility......

And you can never really trust a gauge..........

More full stops..................................

I'll just translate what Ross said: "Turn it down hey, kiddo."

Keep it around the 15psi mark.

Any cold weather/nights will make it spike a bit too. Not so good.





Obligatory dots to follow in next post.
