TURBO'S BOOSTING TO- 0.7

[gregthiara]

Hi Guys,

My 996TT 2001 with 80k on the clock and no mods was recently only boosting to 0.5, so I suspected the hoses and as it was going to have brakes changed at a Porsche specialist anyway so I had them check the boost and there was a gasket blowing on one of the turbo's. Replaced and now the car is boosting to a constant 0.7 and I have been told the hoses do not need changing as they are fine.

But after reading on the forum that you guys are all boosting to 0.9 is there still something wrong with my car?

I have had the car for four years and it only had 25k on the clock with Porsche warranty being brought from a Porsche dealer and I can not remember if the car ever boosted to 0.9 I think it always hit 0.7,

Sorry for the long explanation but please advise, Thanks all.

I have an 01 with 60K miles and I only see .6 bar. I believe those that are seeing .9 bar have the X50 package. So I think you are ahead of the game if you are seeing a constant .7 bar.

0.7 sounds good for a standard 996T. As Simi says, only X50 and chipped cars would produce 0.9. Mine is bone stock, and I see 0.6 with the occasional 0.7.
