That will be .9 Bar which is about 12-13psi! and on a stock turbo you could prob run a little more but, would prob leave it at that!

a mate of mine told me 1.0 bar is about right should i change it or jus leave it? how do u work out how much psi it is? is there a formula or something?

[Nismo_God]

nah leave it as is, stock turbo and ecu shouldnt be pushed too hard, even 12psi is getting up there. 1 bar is 14psi so just do the math...

[Munkyb0y]

bar x 14.503861 = psi

so 1 bar would be 14.503861 psi

if you're running a stock turbo, i'd be careful about running 14.5 psi.

i'd be leaning more towards 12psi as a max, or even 10psi as a safer level.

depends on your setup of course.

ok cool thanks. its a standered turbo but not the standered ecu

Its been tuned at that boost level so leave it.

It might be a good idea to throw it on the dyno for a quick power run 'just' to make sure everything is in good working order.

AFR's are nice and not pinging.

Blackwood auto & dyno used to do power runs for $30, cheapest around by far. Other than that take it back to shaun/Boostworx as he knows the car I would presume.

rules when owning a turbo car

1 DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT "MATES" SAY ABOUT DOING ANYTHING

2 ASK SHAUN IF IN DOUBT

3 IF ANYONE ASKS HOW MUCH "BOOST YER RUNNIN" SAY 32PSI NO MATTER WHAT

Shaun is a great guy, he would explain everything to you over the phone (when possible) go through things, give you options, top bloke. I take my car there always to get it tuned.
