i know it's not a starlet but as a we;re a knowledgable bunch and a few of us own scoobs i thought i'd ask anyway
i've recently bought a 'standard' 99 uk2000 turbo impreza wagon. just basic mods, VF22 turbo, cat back exhaust, air filter and a later spec intercooler. it goes very well, too well in fact and i've found out why
that seems like rather a lot of boost, which has raised a few questions:
what should the boost be as standard?
what's a safe max boost?
does an impreza not have fuelcut or any kind of failsafe to prevent overboosting?
what could be causing the overboost and would be ecu be fuelling for it or not?
i don't drive the car hard as i use it for a daily drive and it appears to have been running this boost for a while judging by the comments of the previous owners. have opened the ecu and can't see any daughter boards or any mods to it.
any help/input would be appreciated
