10 psi normal????
I had my FD for a couple weeks now and only upgrades are the
HKS Filter and HKS Dragger ll cat back. car is freaking fast
then i installed a auto meter boost gauge and I looked at the boost..
seems to be boosting at 10 PSI.. 2nd n 3rd gear goes to 12 then back to 10. even at 5th gear i get 10...
From what i heard my ECU its not stock... i dunno haven't checked it yet.. i'm new to this so how do i know if its stock or not??? any specific numbers to look 4..?
thanks
PS: no i don't have a boost controller.

Stock boost pattern is 10-8-10 in 3rd gear @ WOT. You're definitely overboosting @ 12 PSI but *should* be safe w/ the aftermarket ECU. Have any idea what kind it is? Check its specs to see how many lbs. of boost it's good for.
Congrats on the new car. And BTW, I'm in Frisco too. Check out the West forum for local upcoming meets.

hheeee saiidd "feels like vvtteecc" dahhh... when secondary kicks in, it feels like turbos to me
anyway make sure your ecu IS aftermarket, if you start modding without an aftermarket ecu and no reliability mods you should really watch out for overboosting and knock.
IMO get the reliability mods asap.
