If that is all the mods you have on your engine, even with proper PFC tuning, going higher boost is not a wize decison. In order to force more air into an engine, you also have to be able to get it out. The stock cat is too restictive , and it would be safer to have a larger IC. You also should have an upgraded cooling system.

Some have run over 12PSI with a close to stock system, but I wouldn't.

Clarification to my prior post, what I meant was 12psi was OK but do not go over it with your current setup.

I do not use it, but the manual briefly explains it on page 27.

There are two sets of boost control maps that you can set up and switch between. Each has a pair boost settings and a duty cycle settings. Values are for primary and secondary turbos. You set the boost level for these to what you want to run, and a start point for the duty cycle. Lower cycle for lower boost. Make runs and watch the boost level.

If the boost is too low after a few run, increase the duty cycle value.


Someone else should be able to describe this better than me. Also do a search on this forum as this has been discussed before.

You can safely boost to 14-15 pounds in cold weather and I wouldn't go over 13 in hot weater.
