Boost level
Ok so i just bought my rx7 like i told you guys in previous post. Just repeating myself in case you didn't read them. And the original owner took out the manual boost controllers because he said with them it was pushing 16psi. With them out it goes to about 14 psi. I have an aftermarket boost gauge btw. So what i want to know is how high can my boost be within safe limits? He said you don't really want to be over 14psi cuz it will eff your engine if you are. I dont know too much about this sort of thing and im trying to learn so bear with me.

Do you have any other information you have on what is in the car, fuel system, intake, exhaust, single turbo or twin.

It really sux cuz the guy that sold it to me didn't really give me much info about the car. I wanted like a print out of all the modding and things done to it but he traded it to a dealership like a week before i bought it so i had to go through them. And let me tell you they were morons. kinda pissed at them i mean the didn't know anything about the car the guy test drove it and burned the clutch pretty good and then they left a freaking screw driver stuck in the wiper so when i tested the wipers the motor stuck and wouldn't work till i found out there was a damn screwdriver wedged in there. but i'm done whining.

hrmm cool. Thanks a bunch really helpful info. Also yesterdeay i opened the side panel and looked at my ECU. I also have the stock one in a box in my house, but anyways...They look exactly the same?? same colors except the one IN my car has no barcodes or numbers to identify it. Its almost like he just replaced the stock ECU for another stock ECU. Which makes no sense to me. But correct me if im wrong cuz i very well could be but isnt the stock ECU supposed to not allow you to boost more than 10psi?

When you remove the boost controllers it should come down to 8psi or so. Make sure the extra nipple on each actuator is capped off and is not leaking. Make sure the lines between the turbo and actuators are free of leaks. Open the boost controllers up all the way. Get the boost control working before worrying about anything else.
