- Am i right to say that if when i gun it, and the boost gauge shoots upto 1.0 that i am running around 14 psi?

Thanks
Is that 98 *motor* octane, or 98 *research* octane?

To raise boost, install a boost controller OR do one of the simple mods on mkiv.com

1 bar is about 14.503773800721814 PSI

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
