We had an unexpectedly nice day, so I took the 992 Turbo S out on my errands. I was messing with the display settings and added boost pressure to my screen. It's much more entertaining than what it replaced (and honestly I can't even remember what it was?). Anywho, I naturally had to floor it to watch the boost gauge a bit. Pretty surprised to see it hit 22psi before I backed off. In my 944 Turbo world, that would pretty much blow the head right off, but I guess the magic of modern tech keeps it all together in this car (and so effortlessly, pretty amazing). This was in Sport Plus mode. I'll have to experiment a little to see if the max boost changes with modes? Anyone here ever check out their max boost? Curious how mine compares...

Nice! Good info that I have never even thought about! So no, I have not paid any attention to the boost in the Turbo S, much less the max, but will add that to the need-to-do list.Tom wrote: Thu Feb 20, 2025 4:34 pm We had an unexpectedly nice day, so I took the 992 Turbo S out on my errands.
