Boost Pressure Question [V5 STI]
Hi All,
Just a quick question really.
What is the standard Boost pressure in PSI That a 1999 V5 Sti Should be running?
Mine is running a Blitz induction cone, Roger Clarke Decat Downpipe (3" -> 2.5"), Maganex Center (2.5") And Standard STI Back Box.
Was getting 8/9psi boost before the Decat, Still getting about 9psi boost, but with a boost creep of 2psi to 11PSI
Is this the right boost pressures? If not, What do you think might be the cause?
I look forward to the replys!
Cheers
Peter

Been On The Phone To Jollygreenmonster.co.uk
Excellent help and advise, suggested the Brass Restrictor pill was in the wrong place, or missing. Had a look, and there it was, Sat on the Actuator side of the T-piece!!!. Swapped pipe so pill was between compressor housing and T-piece. Back to 16psi 1.1 Bar of boost as I should have been running.
All I can Say is WOW!, Mega difference.
Thankyou very much jollygreenmonster.co.uk!
Any a thanks to Max as well, as noticed you have given me same advice after they did!.
Case Closed.
