Default what boost is a std frs

reason i ask is that i have just bought myself a frs

mods that i know off is it has a miltek cat on it and miltek exh system
with a k+n filter and magnecor leads which were all done at pumaspeed

my car boosts at 1 bar and feels very quick

i presume the car has been chipped so thats the reason i am asking what boost figure is a std frs

any info grateful thx

Does it go into the red on the gauge?

If it does its been chipped/blufinned (but then you would have the unit).

Not sure mate as my'n is bluefinned. You will know if its chipped tho as it pulls so much better and goes right into the red on the gauge. If it's not chipp it. Best thing you can do.

I said id leave my'n as it is but im just about to go into the 300bhp

Im sure someone will tell you shortly.

A standard FRS should boost at 0.9 bar and with bluefin this increases to 1.3 bar.
