Stock Boost??
What is the normal stock boost?? The highest bar I have achieved is 0.7, just wondering if that is normal for a stock turbo (with my fabspeed exhuast)??
Thanks guys,
Evan K.
BTW-Just took out my ECU, going to IA tom. STAGE 2 ON DA WAY!!!

I believe that if you hold WOT long enough on a regular turbo, it'll go as high as .8 bar.
WOT normally gives me .8 bar, but if I keep it down (accelerating from 40 to 150, for example), mine has read as high as .9. But then again, I've only seen .9 once...

Mine is a 6 speed so that would give merit to your theory. It has also been real hot in Florida and I am interested to see if the cooler fall weather makes a difference in the performance. That is if I haven't taken a hit off the GO FAST CRACK PIPE by then and modded the car.
P.S. Hey Ruiner you are a member and no longer a jr. Member congrats!!!!

Cold air is more dense and thus, has more Oxygen. Oxygen is what gives you power. (Hence why cars suffer at higher altitudes.) Also, your intercoolers will be more efficient in cooling air as the air passes through them. Thus, you will get cooler, denser air into your engine. That equals more horsepower and better performance.

After taking my car out for a little test run the highest I got was 1.2 but just once.
1.0 was seen most often. Again I have stage 1 from EVOMS.
I still can't beleive how fast these cars are sometimes.
