KPA Boost - 93 KPA STOCK!

Wow, seems I'm running higher then stock boost right now, I'm putting out at least 90 KPA, I can't look at the boost gauge when I'm going over that amount cause obviously I'm friggen rocketing. But anyway, when I start my car the gauge is not 0'd out, it sits at 3 KPA, and I know I'm getting up to at least 93 KPA meaning my car is running over 13 PSI stock. I'm pretty happy about this, I have one of the last '06's built, perhaps I got a monster.

No you have something wrong with your car

1. The cat is clogged causing backup which will make you boost higher
2. Your mani is clogged , same deal
3. Your guage is wrong


I wold take it to the dealer a.s.a.p or you are going to notice a cherry red manifold and cat really soon.

How the hell can it be a clogged cat with only 2900 km on it? What are the signs of a clogged cat? I dont think I have any problems with the exhaust, no smells, nothing...

Im going to run it until a CEL is thrown, cause right now nothing appears to be wrong... Will a clogged cat definately cause a CEL? I am going to get under the car next time I run it hard and look for a red cherry.

mine runs around 89kpa above 5500rpm or so (seems to be about 12.9psi). I'll check it again today.

KPA TO PSI CONVERSION
