Tire pressure?

On a stock 01 turbo with 18" wheels... What's the cold tire pressure for it? What is the recommended track pressure for it?

On the track I'm running 36 Rear and 31 front (cold). I use the "triangle" guide imprinted in the rubber on the sidewall and adjust pressures at the track to get the "grain" to the point of the triangle. I'm still about a half to a pound too high, but I'm happy with it.

I still get a little slip in the rear on full squat coming out of some corners, and some push going in, but it's colder here (Seattle), I have Kevin's tune (tons of torque on K24s), OEM suspension, P-S02As and the track has about 10+ different surface types/materials.

For street - use factory guidelines of 44/36.

Thank you everyone... I was at the track and realized I forgot my cheat sheet.

I wish I would have read this at the track, I only saw the first post and went off of that. I ended up starting with 28 front and 36 rear cold. It was hot out, it got to 34 front and 42 rear when I got off the track... I thought I was too low compared to the stock recommendation, but felt fine after the first lap.

Thanks again!!
