2006 Baja Turbo Stock Target Boost

Post by Dirty Bucket »

Hi all,
I have a 2006 Baja Turbo, Auto, and I recently had to replace the turbo due to the stock one seizing. I am just curious what the target boost is for a stock TD04 on a Baja. I know the WRX is 14psi, but I have read that Bajas are less. Just trying to make sure my new turbo is working perfectly.

Thanks!

Put a hand vacuum pump on the watergate actuator. Whatever pressure it opens at is what boost the turbo should run without external control.

Curious about this myself. I have a 2005 mt, and the boost seems to top out around 9psi at wot. Fine most of the time, but I wouldn't mind seeing it up around 12.
