[T.Rev]

I can take u out in mine for a legal speeds test and comparison....Im a driver tho not a mechanic so cant offer help other than what it should/could feel like.

Drop me line sometime or turn up to Thursday nite if Im turning up. Im in Whitby....v5 STI wagon.

We can do a low boost and high boost run.

i wudnt worry about the piping just yet, get your boost sorted and then take it from there.

boost gauges start from about $30 at repco and $20 of the cup to hold it.

[Guest]

sweeet!!

ill sus a boost gauge tonight and post yous all up tomorrow fingers corossed its just running a low boost

question: is it possible to run less then the desired boost it would usually run off the sti ECU? without a boost controller etc?

limp mode - yes

if your vac hose piping is done wrong or leaking - yes

[Pappu1]

did you check the stuff

[funkytown]

im sure he'l pop in here later but he said its holding 9psi solid in every gear. def has vf28 and sti..

thoughts...

[nt_a_foz]

should be around 14-15psi right?

[Pappu1]

i say running wg pressure cos i had a wg run on a vf28 and it was 8.5psi according to the gauge i had hooked up

[T.Rev]

Mines 15psi on high boost...

[QRAF]

gutted oi, sorry i have no idea

[Guest]

hey guys yeah so tested it and sitting on 8-9 psi through every gear!!

hey pappu how did you get yours sorted?

also how do i add a pic? i got a pic of my awesome piping lol

upload it to imageshack.com, then when it gives you some options (finished uploading) copy and paste thumbnail (1) code into a reply here.

Lol time for a twisted setup

[Guest]

awwwwww got it!! haha

so yeah theres my piping for the front mount!!

there seems to be no leaks in the vacs or piping aye??

maybe i should check the ECU? - i just have a feeling to gurantee the warranty on the rebuild they may have tuned it to be lower? (if thats even possible) becuase when i called the company who did the rebuild subject to warranty is that car was to be run on the desired boost (which i thought would have been standard sti boost) guess not?

larger for those who are blind..

edit: so the picture isnt so big anyway.. the bend looks way worse irl.. get a bigger picture dude

[nt_a_foz]

So9unds like its running wastegate boost

Factory should be 14-15psi.

Could be a number of reasons why..Not sure how youdf go about wokring out which it was though lol..

Is the boost controller even plumbed in ? (The factory one) As they might have just plumed the compresor housing straight to the wastegate port thing so will be just running wastegate boost..

[Guest]

oh well ppl will just have to open their eyes wider!!

they cant have changed the ecu to make it run less boost but there are ways to get it to run less, playing with the pill, plumbing it to run straight waste gate pressure. which it sounds like the later.

should be easy to up the boost, and then remove it to look like how they left it if you need anything under warrenty again

ill check this .. cheers. im sure it is tho... i just REALLY dont wana take it to a specialist and get ripped off lol!! i was gna just get a boost controller but yeah illd still have the same problem

[nt_a_foz]

no point getting aboost controller if you just want to run 14-15psi (factory) boost as you should be getting that..

My pic would be what i said plubmed by passing the facotry contoller..

There wil just be a short line going between the compressor housing on the turbo and the wastegate acutator on the turbo..

Not going up to the controller..
