Stock boost on an r32 gtst type M

[Phil Megroin]

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been posted before.. i've tried multiple searches but cant find anything..

Just wanted to know whats stock boost for an r32 gtst?

I currently have a slightly modded r32 gtst and would like to know what stock boost is, and also how much the turbo could handle, on a cold night, without turbine failure.. i.e. safely.

Mods include - 3" exhaust (need to check up whether its a turbo back or cat back), pod filter and EBC.

Its currently running .8 bar boost which is about.. 11 - 12 PSI..

Dont run anymore boost unless your going to fit a frount mount. The standard side mount cooler suffers from heat soak and also 11 - 12 PSI is pretty much the limit for a stock turbo i would say say 13 - 14PSI max using the stock turbo and a front mount. Im sure some of the lads here can offer a more detailed answer and more advice.

Hey buddy.

Stock boost is 10psi, as soon as you get an exhaust/pod it goes to about 11...

I run .85 bar with a front mount and dont seem to have a drama. wouldnt go any higher than that though.

Cheers

Stock boost in actually 7psi

no.. stock boost is actually 10psi.

stock boost for r32 gtsts is 10psi, like everyone above said you should see it spike abit more with aftermarket parts eg, exhaust, airfilter etc etc

mines currently running 13~14 with stock cooler, looking to upgrade to bigger one soon.

I see this topic and its funny to read everyone's posts about stock boost. My stock boost gauge reads about 6 psi and my after market reads around 8psi, yet when i boot it on the guage at the mechanics it shows around 10psi. Most people will say its 10psi although as stated its not good to run it too high for long periods of time with the stock cooler and turbo but then again there are guys out there running in excess of 12-14psi with stock turbo. Just my 2cents

Uhh.. i actually did.. but didnt find anything that applied to me directly.. other people had front mounts etc..

So what about on a cold night? Wouldnt that be like having a front mount already since the air surrounding me is already cold?

To a degree yes but then the biggest problem you have with the difference in ambient temp is the way that you have your car tuned for normal day to day driving. One of my mates has a stock R32 that runs like a dream on a colder night and his older brother who's car is slightly moded runs worst on a cold night. When it comes to stock boost and stock turbo i would stay at 10 mayb 12 psi but not for long periods of time and not for daily driving.
