You have to upgrade many systems of the car to run 14 psi.
ecu: to provide the increase fuel necessary
injectors: your stock injectors will be maxed out, not a safe way to run long term
fuel pump: the stock fuel pump cannot reliably supply that much fuel, you should upgrade it
intercooler: the stock intercooler cannot handle 14 psi well
turbos: 14 psi is pushing the durability limit of the turbos
ecu: to provide the increase fuel necessary
injectors: your stock injectors will be maxed out, not a safe way to run long term

Check out the mods in my signature....*that* is how much more stuff you need to run 14psi, and even then the stock turbos are supposedly stressed and operating outside their thermal efficiency range.

This guy I bought the car from said he ran at 14 psi. I don't know how long...he took the boost controller out. Of course he told me this after I bought the car.
If the boost controller is taken out of the car should boost go back to stock 10-8-10? Note that all that was done is removal of the brain. The wire harness still exists.

That's my point. I don't think anything under the hood was touched. In this scenario what would you think the boost pattern would look like? 7/8-x-x ???

Congrats on the dyno results Goodfella!

I missed something. What do you mean "it doesn't switch to the second turbo"? My question was if when the boost controller was removed and none of the hoses, etc... were put back in stock form, what type of boost pattern would one expect to get?
