Before I added a UMW flash, it was consistently 0.8 to 0.9. Higher in cooler weather.

Spikes you can get, but the number you want it what is holding more or less constantly at peak boost.


Now I see 1.2 to 1.3, depending on ambient temps

Not sctock. ;-).

I have X50. Std was 0.8 - 0.9 (spike) as 2 posters already said. Now I have flash and I see 1.2 to 1.3 (spike) on a cold day.

I have a non x50 2003 that gets 0.8 which I verified today on track. Mile long back stretch at VIR running through the gears with an ambient temp in the high 50s.
