Got my Boost numbers now...does this sound right?
Got my Boost numbers now...does this sound right?
I finally got a Boost gauge installed in my car. It's an Autometer ultra-lite or whatever. My car has the following mods: 3" Racing Beat turbo back exhaust, bov, cone filter, emissions removed. When I boost, I get these numbers.
1st Gear - 6psi
2nd Gear - 9psi
3rd Gear - 10psi
4th Gear - 11psi
5th Gear - ???6psi???
I was wondering about the 5th gear number too. I wasn't at very high rpms (don't remember, I remember I was at 100mph) and all I saw was 6psi, then I was about to run out of road, so I stopped.
Another question, how much will a straighter TID help these numbers, if any?

That's a good plan, but better keep your foot out of it in the meantime. This is the trouble with installing something that will give the car quick acceleration, it's hard to keep your foot off the floorboard in the interim.
That's just what mine was doing before I detonated it & cracked an apex seal.
I was WOT in 5th at 135 MPH (stupid me)
Uncontrolled boost creep is like driving toward a cliff in a fog. (It's fun until - Oops..)
