07 STi hitting 18 psi on stock map?

I have a married apv2 and I hooked it up to use the live data function since its still married to an 04 sti and it said i was boosting 18 psi. Isn't that high for a stock tune?

If the data is real, I'm going to guess that you have a non-factory UP or DP installed and are running it with a stock map, which would be a big NO NO.

I tend to agree with you, but there is the possibility that the ECUs from 2004 vs. 2007 require different calibration curves to interpret data externally (ie AP). Remember that the ECU is sending electrical pulses out to the AP, not necessarily a calibrated signal saying 'you are definitely at 18 psi'. The pulses have to be interpreted by the AP, so if the cal curves needed to read 04 vs 07 STi's happen to be different, it's not real.

Super long shot, but worth considering from an engineer's standpoint.
