Hi does anybody what the standard boost is on the wr1,I have just fitted a set of guages and the boost guage is reading 1.1 maybe 1.2bar I thought that I have read somewhere that the standard is 1.4bar although I am not sure. :?:

Thanks steve

Sounds about right mate. Mine's remapped and hits just over 1.4 and used to hit approx 1.2 standard.

It's worth noting I haven't driven it since the start of October so I may be wrong :lol:

Tip of the day, if your boost gauge ever shoots up to around 2.1 bar, get it checked out immediately. I believe standard internals take 1.4-1.5bar boost max. I think standard turbo boost at around 1.2-1.3bar before remap but been a long time since I had the std turbo on :lol:

Standard wr1 boost is 1.4 bar.

Which always reads about 1.5 on a Defi unit.

I think most gauges over-read slightly.

Cheeky buggers!! :lol:

No one told me what the gauges should be reading so how was I to know 2.1bar was wrong for a highly tuned Subaru? :shock:

Also they weren't flashing or beeping as I later found out the limits hadnt been set by the dealer that installed them.

In fact most people I spoke to said you should be taking note of, Fuel Pressure and Oil Temp which were all reading normally when I had my issues. So boost was thought of as more of a nice to have than something that provided something I needed to keep an eye on.

Jeez, these people must think im a...
