Boost question?
 
I have 10-8-10 boost patterns with pettit intake, bonez downpipe and borla exhaust. My ECU is stock and I was curious to where my extra boost is? The turbos are stock and have not been worked on but the motor was replaced few years ago if that matters. Anything would
help?

What's your complaint? That's a great setup. Watch the boost gauge though for spikes and creep.

I think he is wondering why his boost hasn't gone up, and with those mods he should be getting higher boost. My theory is a possible clogged cat. How many miles you got on your ride homey?

Actually, I didn't really notice a change in my boost pattern until I installed my Pettit ECU.

Not that I didn't see a different in performance with my exhaust system, just that my boost was still right around 10lbs until the ECU change.

I have no complaints, there is nothing wrong with the car but I would like to get pettit or m2 ecu to remap the air/fuel ratio to run the extra boost. But where is that boost is my question?

Mahjik- How is the pettit ecu, doesyour car run better or did you notice the performace gains after you installed it?

Did I notice an improvment? That's an understatement. ;)

I put the ECU in, went out on the highway and the car hit 13lbs of boost. I was extremely happy. :)

I also have intake, downpipe, and catback but with the Pettit unlimited boost ecu and the previouas owner ran a 13.6 with those mods....
I didn't feel the car before the ecu so I wouldn't know what the improvement is.
I have heard that with those 3 mods you definetaly should get an ecu so good job for looking around for one
Get one as soon as you can and good luck with whatever you choose!
