The 1.82 bar is what's reflected on the factory boost gauge.

It's not an actual pressure of 1.82 x 14.7

The boost pressure is actually .82 bar.

Your 1.1 bar is 16.7psi

The .82 bar is 12 psi

You're running more boost than 1.82 bar (on the factory gauge.).</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Tony, I believe tazman knew that, and was only being sarcastic.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I still don't understand why our cars are worth so little. This car was put against everything and it won every time. What a shame.

If you guys may have noticed, the prices of used 951s have been creeping up this past year.

One of my favorite articles have always been the 951S vs. 930 showdown:

Danno's right...regardless what "Bruce A." at Excellence magazine says.(he only likes 911's anyway)
Yes, the 951S vs. 930 article is legendary!
I wish I had a hard copy.

That 951S vs 930 is entertaining. Throughout the article they write about how much faster the 951 is on the track and in the canyons but at the end it's the attitude 'The 951 is faster but the 930 scared the sh*t out out of so I'm voting for it'.

However, I'd love to have both. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
