Default boost "bar"

What is the normal bar reading on full throttle with an X50 stock engine?


Any info would be great.

It depends on what gear you are in, gas quality and ambient temp. Mine will show .9 at the end of a hard pull in 3rd gear, but won't do that in first or second. In those gears, it hits the redline before max boost is reached. AS

AS is right. .9 bar. If you have a hill nearby then try this. In 4th ~ 2500 rpms floor it going uphill you should see .9 bar.

Anywhere between .8 to .9 with spikes, sometimes at 1.0 is ok.
