wonder if the filter and zaust then maybe why a tad over,if 1bar=14.5psi,i would say about 15.1 or .2 psi. But steady,no issue at all,in fact it does run very well,only comparison i have is from my MOT tester whos mate has an sti wagon and said mine drives tighter and boosts better..............his words not mine. I know the sti is more powerful though :-/ maybe its fubar Yes,true,gauges are never spot on,does calibrate every start up,does appear pretty consistent in readings through various testing,but could be consistently out

Cool,tbh i would have turned it to green anyway such a waste on me.............. :P It would be great(may be ok) if the other prosport gauges(have digital ones too) are compatible with same plug,i would buy another and just swap..............just because i could plug n play :) May ask actually ;)

Mine is a wrx,standard other than k&n panel,rear cobra zaust running a very consistent tad over 1bar (according to gauge). At first i used 97ron super,then decided on shell nitro at 99 ron. Now i know its not going to make any huge differences as the standard map is mapped for a broad petrol,it does say super unleaded behind cap. I dont appear to be getting any more miles to the tank,but do have passionate driving stints Am i wasting my time going 3 mile(6 round trip) to brim my tank? I know sti require a minimum of 98ron "apparently" anyway....... Is it true it would possibly back off as Dino suggested as i have not heard this before and a newb to the scoob. As on the topic,i would not be too happy going over 280 in my wrx due to the td04 limiting it anyway. I like to run under the max i can get if makes sense,so 260/270 would be more than enough. I am concerned on reliability,the PPP of 240-260 dependent on car(as all vary anyway) i would class as a safe amount. That may be where i go as i am not chasing bhp anyway,more just a better drive. 500hp for me is as good as useless anyway............lag lag :o and ban Just a usable ,responsive drive........Cat replacement on either down pipe or after then centre section, map and should be done! Does anyone know the safe boost limit of a standard wrx,with mine a midges over 1 bar! Have read 0.8 and 0.9 bar is standard.......which is it? Is the fuel ok for up to 1.1................without mapping? I know the sti internals are stronger and support higher gains without further mods........but i dont have one :( Cheers ven :)

32psi all round,find it works well with the pilot sport boots,checked fluids as i do weekly anyway,coolant is always spot on,oil spot on,topped up washer bottle.................about 100ml Gear box spot on....... Checked boost gauge pipes are all ok as fresh from other week. Quick clean of dash inside Took a pic or 3 for you all...........this is how clean it is all the time,bit of ocd i guess (no not washed outside today) Weekly checks done MPG wise,worst from a tank is 24,usually around 27mpg using 99ron nitro.

Lovely subaru.............. B) all done tastefully ,how i like,colour is stunning too :) Rach did love hers to death!!! literally............ Nice v6,tip- tronic..........nice place to sit tbh. She still misses it now,but ins too high.............its over £800 for the clio Only pic i have was taken by my late father,my eldest lad(good few years back,maybe 12 ish) of the 200sx s14a,pre mobile phone cameras so a pic off an actual printed pic. As it was not meant to be a car pic,it only shows a bit ....... Loved that car,really nice to drive,had to go as young one on way and rear seats would not fit baby seats(bucket).Thats when the shogun was born.......

I love you car avatar B) I need a high lift spoiler and i have found hens teeth in my rocking horse *beep* whilst looking..............

B) I have found(bare in mind far more likely around near me to park up and another 4x4 be it a disco or another paj etc) very rarely a day would go buy without someone coming over and chatting or asking about mods. Admittedly after a few years it did get tiring of all the attention. Now i am like a ninja discrete and hidden away............well so i thought Only till another subaru is about that is :) I stay away from face ache............and will stay that way. Understand easy to keep in contact with family far away,but daily spats by keyboard warriors is not for me,not to mention i dont want everyone to know my ins and outs(nothing to hide,just more a private kind of guy if makes sense) .

Well there goes my thought "everybody loves me for who i am" Thats great,shame they do have a rep,tbh what mark does not, "BMW" drivers have been surpassed by AUDI now.........and we know BMW drivers were Mondeo owners of past Ok on a serious note(only for once) it kind of makes me proud to be a part of it. I know if i broke down at side of the road,if a subaru passed it would pull over. I have had a few talk "subaru" in past,but admit nothing compared to when i parked the 7ft 7 truck up...............that was a magnet...........unfortunately not for ladies dads and lads magnet,every kid loved it,pointed at it,if close by and window down,i heard many times "daddy look at that big jeep" Sport/sti/wrx/forester etc to me makes no difference,on here all are treated as should hence why i spend time on here looking through and posting when possible. I get fed up of the sti *beep* stuff tbh,wrx are *beep* etc. I do contemplate a wagon in truth,the advantage of the boot size over the saloon..............think 2 young ones and a caravan to go. After Rachels 2 crashes last year(5 series..........yes a bm ) and a run about focus(took a bend to quick) we have picked up a little..............dare i say french car(goes against my "jap or german" only but not mine.,She loves it,its a run about temporary,but 25k on clock,like new and auto 1.4. Its actually ok to drive too...........honest!!! For just £800 off a very good friend...........it is less than 1/2 they go for on ebay,just too good to not get. When i have used it and i pass a lot of clios, no one lets on...........thankfully :P Crashed bm(very good car tbh,2.5 straight 6 and bullet proof engine ,other than sensors) Then focus She hated that.........so much she crashed into a big curb...........joking aside,fractured sternum and ribs All in 2 months after a decade of issue free(she used to have an FTO) Now Lucky me i have 2 black cars to keep clean But other marks have no "bond" so to speak as i have noticed,maybe evo owners do but dont know on that(would have thought so) With the rep that comes with impreza ownership,i will add i have not seen any driven like a *beep*.............yet Proud to be a part,just wish i knew who it is pipping and letting on,some older shape,some newage,shape seems to make no difference so far B) Subaru has a strong,passionate following i have found so early on B) Cheers ven ps-thanks for putting up with my waffle

Sounds awesome tbh,love the option of changing colours via gauge rather than wiring.................. Looks stunning and oe fitted............well better tbh as it would not be as good if factory oe B) Love it!!

Pete.............wow love your set up,loving the gauge too B) not to mention your subaru :D If there was one thing i could change(many many things tbh ) would be the green dash to a red............in truth i cba But much prefer the red...............

Just fitted one myself,prosport gauge and pod Off Has stepper motor,so a little noise on start up with calibration,can hear slightly if concentrate,during driving its no issue. Few different flavours to suit dash colours available,i went for green/white. Can have it change colour when lights on for example,i just went green permanently........ Stepper is fitted under dash away from engine bay,so i just have boost pipe going through the grommet above pedals. One think i like is the oe look,in eye line too,so easy to read without taking eyes off road.

Having a shogun(so similar to pajero) ,drivers had yellow diamonds as like a member signature in window(think size of2 tax discs but a diamond shape and yellow.............guess the clue was there) Pic,can see me using as tax disc holder Quite a few pajeros compared to subarus, an easy 10/1 ratio .Over the years odd flash but most just...........well did not matter. Excluding the awesome peeps i got to know,met and went on days out laning/pay and play sites etc. So this is a general on the road type of observation. Now we are at subaru impreza ownership,even in the last 2 weeks and we know they are becoming a rarer site(round me anyway) i have been pipped(not for that reason :P )waved at,thumbed up etc. I thought.............its like a bikers thing maybe,but subaru owners ,but be them older shape(do love them) or newage ,all appear friendly and seem to go out of their way to let on., B) Just a couple of days back a nice black impreza(dont know if sti or wrx) beeped a couple of times as i was turning off. Looked back and he slowed and seen a face looking at me and sure a thumbs up(not middle finger :P ) in rear view mirror. Just a general observation within a few month,seem a friendly bunch of drivers,more so than any other mark of past i have owned............ Is this the norm where you are?? is there a code,or subaru owners have a passion in their brand more than other brand owners............... Cheers ven

Classic,i am not surprised though............ Tbh and Gambit knows via a pm a while back,this forum is one of the friendliest along with POCUK which is pajeros. Made welcome,not shot down with questions and responses are polite etc. I like it here :) but my knowledge and mods wise is limited,however in time it will grow. I am restricted with family responsibility now being 40...............Just a few years back,if i had bought a subaru instead of a mitsi,i would have been able to add many threads of mods. Just this time it may take a while :( ...........all in good time :P Face ache i avoid like the plague,i dont mind posting stuff,even if i look a plonker,but not on social media crap......... Trouble is face ache can damage good car forums,due to instant answers ...........however many "not in the know" replies seem to happen in abundance(been told as dont go on) Quick Q and cheers see you later............ Least on forums you build up friends/relation ships(well you know what i mean :P ) with other members B) :D

Well today i have had a couple of motorway runs,so can actually get a prolonged boost read out in 5th gear(again i know not 100% but best judgement i can get) It holds a fraction above 1 bar,consistent,no budging apart from less than a needle width of movement now and then,but pretty much stable. So seems to be running well(yep my feet are resting on a wood table ). I a getting used to the brightness pretty quick now as stants said,so all good,happy.................. for now ;) . :)

Hi Jay,thanks for the kind words and always a pleasure to share info,may help others by my mistakes maybe 2 wrongs do make a right :) In future,as i slowly do mods(the boss does not really like it and put up with it on my previous truck) So have to tread with caution!! I will do my best to add pics and write ups............the bloopers are never missed out

True,you know what i have had a thought..............dangerous stuff i know......... Could get some kind of tinted cover,cut to size and fit............make it more smoked if makes sense. That may be the easiest option if i dont get used to it. Along lines of what you use on lights to darken etc.........just a thought

Looking at diagram,maybe the orange wire that connects to acc,by reducing the V.,...could be wrong,will see how i get on as i may get used to it. Just being out then its not too bad,it looks good bright,may grow on me over time or as said just get used to it. Its just night time use that it is apparent ............no biggy :)

I always have mine on the higher setting,if anything that seems a little low for me,shame its not like an infinite control like some,that way you can dial in the exact brightness level of dash...........

Just been out for some proper testing or should i say better than a quick run. Its ticking over at 0.6bar vac,under highest boost i am a fraction under 1.0bar,would say 0.99 as width of a needle under. I know far from 100% accurate but its a guide....... With stereo off(the JVC :P as xcraps is in mail back) you can hear the gauge,noisy.......well yes but not very. The start up is loud in comparison though for the 1st second or so when calibrating itself. Its not fantastic,its a good gauge imho,no regrets and would buy again. But for around £50 i cant expect a £150 gauge quality. Its surely better than the £15-£20 jobs for sure. Cheers all,if anyone is seriously considering, to show/hear the noise ,i have no problem making a vid and linking to the tube of you ;)

I like the idea,may look into it as it ideally needs to be about 1/2 as bright imo..........thats me though! others may like it bright and obvious to the eye. Cheers

One comment i will make is it is quite bright at night even with the sun guard/shield. Its not a killer or anything,but you do get a slight reflection on screen. I cant think back to my fiesta turbo and cosworth days if it was the same or not. Just to point out its bright,some dimmer function would be good or wired into the stork dimmer maybe. Just something to consider for any future buyers,although i am sure most will be quite bright and dependent on where situated would exaggerate the reflection. Other than that its a nice gauge.........never had an elec one with stepper motor,not sure what/if any benefits over the traditional type regarding accuracy/reliability........... Time will tell

i was the same,basically you can fit the stepper motor in engine bay and just extend cables,mine is under dash and is a little loud on start up then its all quiet...........no big deal. Boost pipe runs to stepper motor instead of to rear of gauge. from this its wired to the gauge. Some wires are left,depending on what colour you want. It can save feeding the boost pipe through the fire wall but i did it that way anyway and connected up under foot fell. Which ever works for you :)

destructions scooby ghost to explain wires/colours A said i am green/green :)

Thanks for that stants,will check it out :)

Hi there,thank you,they do other colours too,i decided on green/white but just opted for green all the time. In short you can have white in day,switch headlights on and turns green or visa versa.............cba as said,my dash is green . Blue /red are other options. Bought here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221673198110?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Pod here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150872627950?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The pod surpassed my expectations ,its superb but still think pricey being honest............no regrets though :)
