Have a guess...?
So a while ago I took my car to Surrey Rolling Road to see what I was making. V1 Sti, so quite old. Only mod was a Green panel filter.
I did one run as is then swapped to a majorsarcasm chip. Same result, was only producing 0.9 bar and made 260bhp and about 240lbs of torque I think.
Replaced up-pipe and hunted out a few other issues, now I make 1.15bar...
So any guesses for what this would equate for everything else like for like, hiking the boost from 0.9 bar (too low even for standard V1 STi) to 1.15bhp?
No prizes but I will be getting it tested soon just for kicks, closest person gets only the smug points!

It was a leaky up-pipe in this instance but I have had other issues that I have slowly sorted, fuel was a major issue, had some cr@p stuff in the tank and it was enough to cause knock and lower boost to 9psi.
I also cleaned BCS and MAF at the same time for good measure, checked the play in the wastegate arm, checked for pre-turbo leaks (was a bit of one when the uppipe was fitted, fixed that). All good now. Older cars, especially fiddly ones like these with lots of bits that can go wrong are sometimes frustrating. Its peachy now though.
