i talked to a subie tech and he said that it only boost 7psi but can go up to 15... anyone else not know that? all mags say it 14.5...

 

wat are your mods? whats the last thing did you do to your car lately?

 

The STi peaks at about 14.5 psi. I'm not sure why he said 7 psi.

 

iono about you but i get 14psi hahaha. you can get about 7psi though if you full throttle on a high gear becuz it wont go any higher! something with Sti's

 

he said that it can boost 14.5 but that when it comes off the lot that it is set for 7... that you need a boost control to get the 14.5

 

lmao. so....does he sell boost controllers??? stock sti's hit 1 bar (14.7psi) stock. And if you ever think about getting a boost controller, dont! Get an accessport to controll your boost.

 

yeah... i already have one on order... oh well ill just deal and upgrade later. i know the meter goes to .15 but i cant get higher than .1 most of the time .07 or 8

 

.1 kPa is peak boost. It's roughly 1 bar, which is roughly 14.5 psi. You won't see peak boost 100% of the time. If the engine load is light, boost stays low, and it can be that way even if you're putting your foot into it a little, especially in lower gears.

 

the subie tech you spoke with is a foking moron....sorry, I had to say it.

DO NOT GET A BOOST CONTROLLER!!!!

The STi from factory will boost to 14.5psi, only at WOT. If its never boosting that high there is problems with the boost control system, hosing ,etc.

Again, the subie tech you spoke with is foking moron. Don't listen to him & definately don't let him work on it.

DO NOT INSTALL THAT BOOST CONTROLLER....

Were not kidding... return it SEALED....

Get a Cobb AccessPORT, let it be done properly... or... kaboom
