R34 GT-T Stock Turbo

[Firefrog]

I just recently got myself an R34 GT-T, in total stock format, and was a little curious how much PSI the stock turbo runs? According to the boost guage in there by standard, it goes upto 1 kg/cm2, which apparantly converts to about 14psi! If this is true, then there's something wrong with my car, because it certainly doesn't feel like that much boost So is the stock boost guage hideously wrong? Or am I doing the conversion wrong? Does anyone know the actual stock PSI rating of the turbo? Cheers

i cant remember isnt it like 7 or 8 psi?

Yep it fluctuates between 7 and 8

an ABSOLUTE STOCK AS A ROCK example should read around 7-8psi boost and only reach 3/4 of the way on the factory boost gauge.

If yours goes all the way to the one either your boost guage is faulty or the car has a bleed valve installed which has increased the stock boost.

stock turbo doesnt like anything near or above 1bar of boost....ie 14psi.

Yeah, I figured that was about right, I'll have to keep a closer eye on the guage next time I drive her, and see just how far she does go.

Yeah, in warmer weather, it goes to about 1mm below the 3/4 mark (almost 1/2 bar = 6.5 psi which is about stock level) but yesterday around Mt Tambourine, it was going to exactly over the 3/4 mark.
