Is this normal?

When at full throttle i only see 1.0 bar of boost when at full boost, and it tapers off a little.
Is this normal boost? Am I losing pressure somewhere?

 

I think the stock boost is 19 psi and tapers to 14 psi at wot.

 

Dam. Then I'm losing psi somewhere.

 

I'm reading 1.0 kg/cm2 on my center gauge pack. I have an MR. Is this normal boost max reading? Some times I get 1.1.

 

Max stock boost is 20.3PSI. The boost is load-dependent, so you won't see 20.3PSI in every gear. From what I recall, I used to get ~1.2kg/cm2 max in 3rd gear. It's been a while. It doesn't sound like the car is tuned. Is it stock?

 

Completely stock. I'm just concerned if I might have a leak of boost somewhere.

 

if it is like our european models replace the down pipe prferably with an after market one.

 

What are you talking about?

 

The reason is I haven't driven my car since it was being repaired and dont remember if I used to see higher boost or not

 

thats what mine runs

 

So 1 bar boost is too low?

 

The stock gauge does not read completely correct. It will vary depending on your altitude anyway. But for what its worth, my car only hit 1.1 on the stock gauge when my car was stock

 

I see. Thanks for the input guys. I have an autometer boost gauge lying around and I'm gonna install it to see the accuracy of my stock one. Just waiting to get the steering column pod for it in the mail.

 

The stock gauge is fairly accurate compared to a logged MAP sensor. We've talked about it a bunch. Might want to run a search.

 

Might not want to use the autometer either, mine will not read past 22psi anymore and I'm running much higher boost.
