Default Stage 2 with 14.5 psi boost pressure

I have a 2007 STI with Cobb TBE w/ cat and Cobb AP w/ Stage 2 91 oct (3000 miles on Car). I am running @ 14.5 psi boost pressure. Shouldn't this be more? Some replies from Cobb forums say it might be linked to barometric pressure. I am from Alberta, Canada so the atmospheric pressure is less. Any other thoughts?

How long ago did you flash to stage 2? Do you have a boost gauge or just reading it from the AP? Is it AP V1.0 or V2.0?

It's reading the same on both my boost gauge and the AP. I flashed to Stage 2 about 1000 miles ago (@ 1900 km total).

Thanks for the welcome,

I have a protune booked in 2 weeks.

Where are you getting it Protuned? The Tuner should be able to tell you what the deal is....

When you hook up your AP it tells you which map you are currently running...

I'm thinking that you may have not installed the map correctly, or at all! (just a thought)

If you truly have stage 2 flashed, then you shouldn't be getting stock boost numbers!

I sure don't!

I am getting it Tuned @ Subracing in Edmonton. I have checked the map several times and it is Stage 2 91 oct. I'll just wait for the tune I guess...
Thanks
