How much boost?

[MattM]

I'm convinced my car is loosing boost because it feels slugish. If I was to measure the boost what figures should I expect to see? Thanks.

I'v had a look round the net and can't seem to find what pressure yours should be running.
The 2.3t5 should be about 11-12psi, but haven't found anyway that says what the 2.4 with the kkk is running at.

With a bit of luck another memeber who has one will spot this and let you know.

Thanks.

Hopefully once I know the correct boost I can fit a gauge and see what it's doing. Sometimes the car performs spot on, then it will feel like it's lost 50bhp.

I would have thought, with a bigger bore and the better turbo but only 10 more bhp, it probably runs less than the 2.3, maybe 9-10psi. Just guesswork tho. Have you checked if the w/g is sticking? happens on mine from time to time. You just need to take the actuator rod off the w/g arm and see if it moves freely. If not - plusgas and a bit of elbow grease.

Thanks.
Anyone else have info on this?
