Umm average of 12 to 13. 13 being more of a spike. NEVER hit 15. Is that bad? I know the intercooler is really inefficient and loses around 2 psi thus would explain my 10 at the manifold.

Stock ECU, that's about right. 3-4 psi drop at IC.

Well either way Im going to recheck all my plumbing and try to upgrade to hard plumbing all over. Probably help the pressure drop a bit.

FM,

I doubt it.

The thing that will help the pressure drop most is an aftmarket I/C.

i get full boost(1bar) at 3500-3600rpm....stock ports and twins....non-seq...

Fatman,
I got 10 psi a little earlier then you (similar to boostcrzy) after switching from the h.d. boost controller to a daws device. now the car boosts and holds rock solid (before it began ingesting coolant). that was with a dp, cb, stock cat, intake and stock motor w/stock turbos. i think the h.d. boost controllers don't work well at all. you can get the daws device for about $50.00.

Well Im wondering is 12 to 13 PSI at the turbos bad? Like how long will they last like that? I dont go flooring it every day yet I do like to enjoy the car. Should I get an aftermarket IC, ASAP, because their going to go that fast?

i don't think 12-13 psi at the turbos is a problem. everything i've ever read indicates that problems start when you exceed 12 psi at the manifold which would probably equate to 14-15 psi out of the turbos.

Well it never hit 14 I bet the highest was 13.5 if that. If anything I will start to check my plumbing and looking into an aftermarket IC to keep pressure up.
