Put my boost controller on.. PIC and ??



Damn, I need to get my camera fixed but anyways I have a little Trust TVVC sitting next to the hood latch there. Did some stainless braided lines to it. Now Im hitting 10.5lbs of boost in 3rd 4th and 5th. That's 2lbs more than I went to the track with. But Im not getting 10 lbs in 1st and 2nd course those gears go buy kinda quick but it seems im hitting 8lbs in 1st and about 9lbs in second. I dont think its hurting me too bad it. I figure the added lbs in first and second would just be more wheel spin. So any good reason for this?

the more load there is on the motor, the more boost it will make. im sure your w/g is small, the boost will creep more with a small w/g...

As Robert stated - a little boost creep.
Just make sure you're not running lean in those gears under load.
