Gambit Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm guessing you have a standard car mate I.e no mods at all, from standard your car will be 13.5psi in Bar's 0.930825 So might be showing it's right on the gauge. Do you have the LCD or analogue gauges ? Oh and sorry welcome to S.O.C :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A.R Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its got a filter and a full decat and up pipe decat aswell and just a dump value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Right I could be wrong here I'm not sure how much if any more boost that will give you mate unless you have had a remap ? if you have then I would say maybe a problem with the gauge. Or pipe work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 hello. No extra boost will be gained at all as its from the solenoid and actuator. It could be the restrictor pill in the Actuator pipe that is too small or a number of other Variables like a cheap turbo with a chinese actuator, DV isnt leaking at all is it ? as that could always be your boost problem ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Was just going to post what Ash has stated - increasing airflow doesnt get you more boost - just allows you to increase the amount of air fuel mixture into the cylinders - to do that you need a mep or tweak the turbo - ideally both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Depends on the dump valve as a lot subarus don't like them , Bailey dump valves are probe to breaking the diaphragm inside so cause boost leak But you should be at .9 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
