Slater Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Man this is addictive. The car is a totally different animal! I can't wait to feel it once I put the down pipe, exhaust, GLT cams, and CAI on!Anyways, at WOT my stock needle goes right to the end of the white and stays right there all the way to redline. It's my understanding that the end of the white is 15psi. Is that correct?The BSR Stage 3 is supposed to be 18psi which is why I'm wondering.No, I don't have my Defi boost gauge hooked up yet. I know the stock gauge is crap but only because it's slow to repsond.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennybridge pioneer Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 the stock guage is crap because its not calibrated, it just looks pretty. if you have that high dollar boost gauge you might as well install it. i can't believe you would even mess with the boost without having a means of monitoring it. get that thing hooked up ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did Stage 0.If you had a BSR chip and you were sitting there staring at it, I doubt anyone could resist popping it in for a little test drive. We're not talking a 19T upgrade or something. It's just a chip not an MBC. I doubt 75% of the people that got in on the ST group buy have a boost gauge.I'll get the gauge in. I was waiting to figure out how I was going to mount it first...- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickThatClutch Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 18psi? You sure? My stage 3 is only 17psi. You probably need to get a MBC to set it up that high. Jae got a ST 17psi chip and it only builds 15psi. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickThatClutch Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 My guess would be the BCS. Do you also have a larger downpipe? The stock one maybe restricting full boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the stock BCS?←it's the BCS...you can go "whatever" PSI on the 15, but of course you'll risk kaboom....my 17psi spikes about 17 and usually sets at about 14 usually....i need my downpipe and catback to really be able to go crazy and test the psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoboi24 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 yeah, you definately need to hook up that boost gauge, you'll never know until you do... with that "stage III" I wonder what numbers your putting down :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to do a shootout with the stock T-5R ECU, BSR, Upsolute, and ST.Should be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcat Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 The stock boost guage is suprisingly accurate. I found this when i ran an external one along side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DougK Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 The end of the white is ~ 1bar/14psi or so. Im running only 12-14psi on mine right now due to insercurities about CA gas (till I get the wideband/knocksense done). Plus, I haven't had a chance to finish up my gauges :*( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I haven't had a chance to finish up my gauges :*(←12-14? 12 sounds awefully low. The stock T-5R runs almost 11psi, which is 3/4ths of the way on my gauge. Now with the BSR it's at the end, which can't be 12. Ill buy 14 or 15.I just need to hook up the Defi and see what the heck is going on.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you are not seeing the expected boost figures. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
