WRX stock WG setting ???
 

what is the stock wastegate setting on a WRX ? I know they run a boost solinoid to increase the boost, but what should the turbo stop at without the solinoid ?

I'm getting a weird spool-up.. touch the gas in ANYWAY other than "cruising" and it jumps to 4-6psi SUPER FAST. But if I try to hold the pedal down though the whole RPM band it will start to increase till 10-11psi then stop. 9/10 times it will throw the Map sensor code, so I'd like to run about 9 1/2psi daily.

im not sure i understand the problem...under full throttle sometimes it runs different boost levels?

Re:WRX stock WG setting ???
 

Different boost levels at different RPMS at WOT.

Like.. 5-6psi at 2000-3600rpms, then at 3600rpms it will start raising to 10-11psi. Its like boost creep, but it stops at 10-11psi around 4300rpms.

stock actuator should be 8psi and you should lose 1-2psi through your fmic. doesn't make sense why it's boosting more.

i let the waste gate do all the work on my scoobie one time and it was only 7psi so you should be around 7 or 8 good luck

maybe you bent the arm or its not getting enough boost through the line

yeah 7, but my bros runs 16 now. lol.

speedy1224, if you have an afc, or a s-afc2 what are your fuel settings as we cannot really fugure this out at all.
