13psi is ok, same motor as my offroader and that's hitting 14psi, my Liberty hits 18 without a problem, they have a different set up to later 97> vacuum and use a 2mm restricto in a different line, I just got mine sorted last week after 3yrs lol.

Like mine you may be running a V2 STI computer or a chipped one as they usually only go to 10-11lb or it could be a crap boost gauge.

Sweet as - good buy.

Seems you have an eye for a bargain - a Turbo Lib and a brumby for the price of a good Brumby - you've done well.

Very nice ride bro and an awesome buy at that price. This is my favorite model Gen1 Ser1 RS Legacy and really miss my old girl, lucky I get to see her from time to time :)

This model ran 9psi from stock so you could have a slight boost leak in one of the hoses or your gauge could be reading incorrectly?? As long as the car doesn't 'ping' under hard acceleration, then you'll be ok.
