How much boost should I be getting.

I just purchased a 93 RX-7 TT and I am wondering how much boost I should be getting. I don't know if the ECU has been modified or anything. All I know is that it has an aftermarket air filter, greddy catback exhaust, Efini Y-pipe and crossover pipe, greddy blow off valve, and a greddy turbo timer. I think that I am getting about 8-9 psi.

get a boost guage, and you should be close to 10-8-10 or 11-8-12 with your mods.

This may sound stupid, but should my car be boosting 11-8-12, or should I adjust my boost to that setting?

Do you have a boost gauge? If not, now is the time to get one.

Use the boost test:

After that check the ecu and make sure it is an upgraded one. You will need it if you are going to upgrade anymore.
