xr68yuu Member 8 Member For: 11y 3m 28d Posted 24/08/13 05:40 AM Share Posted 24/08/13 05:40 AM hey guys I found out my car has been tuned (due to having bosch 044, front mount etcetc) I hooked a boost gauge and its running only 8psi and dies to 6-7psi??? stock they run about 5-6psi?? could it be a conservative tune?you would think with a tune you would boost it to at lease 10psi? max is 12psi on stock internals but it might even have internals done due to lumpy idle sometimes. im coming from a wrx that was running 22psi so 8psi seems low lol but would a retune with more boost be alrightt? always use 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
