Couple Of Boost Questions?

[butler]

Going to get an Apexi power fc beggining of next year and was wondering if it can raise and controll boost levels or would i need a boost controller (i.e avcr)? Was also wondering if anyone could clarify what the standard boost is on an sti ver3? I have a boost gauge on the car (unknown make) which sometimes goes to 1.1, 1.2 bar, and the engine is totally standard! Though the boost is arond 0.9 standard? Could the gauge be giving a false reading?

The final boost figure will depend on a number of things

Fuel pump...std or not

Fuel Pressure Regulator....std or not

Intercooler ..... std or not

Boost Control ...... std or not.

Induction..........std or not

Exhaust....std or not

Condition of internals and compression

Version 1+2 run 0.9 peak

Version 3 is about 1.1 - 1.2 depends on ambient temp

With the right basic bits you should be able to pull about 1.4bar out of it but the VF23 turbo might throw a wobbler so maybe about 1.2 1.3

Only modification is a cat back vortex system and green panel filter everything thing else is standard.

Probably about the 1.2 mark

Relibility and mid range punch would be the best gains after remap
