when i first installed the turbo i ran 5psi. then after awhile i was bored with it, turned it up to 10psi, NOW the boost contoller loosed up on the highway and i was back to stock. so i got home turned it back up and put a lock nut on. i just set the boost by eye. i get in the car and drive 5psi...8psi...10psi.. 13psi bab! i was like ehhhhh should i keep it? so i made a few runs. holy crap theres a big difference from 10psi to 13psi. in first ill launch so i dont sit and burn tire then shift hard into secound and it will spin for a few seconds then one u get traction around 3k then at 4.5k u loose it all again the tires just break free when 13psi is coursing through its veins lol. 3rd gear will just chirps the tires when the boost hits the pick up in crazy. donate so i can dyno lol. college is eating me.

be carefull and dont go boost crazy. keep it at 10psi like u had all this time.
i could probably turn up 3s up to 25psi and have a nice run with it.... but id have a damaged engine if i kept something like that set for daily use. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
