[BLINKY619]

hey people 9 have a question.... i found out that i only get to 9lbs of boost...! IS THAT THE RIGHT AMOUNT I SHOULD BE IN? i mean it runs ok with no problems but ive heard that 9 is a bit low...!

[BLINKY619]

but is it normal to be that low? cause my friends is all stock and goes to 11lbs?

 

[slowboy101]

[BLINKY619]

so i should get a mbc?

did you check for boost leaks?

Probably 8-9 lbs is what your boosting because the stock 2g bov is GARBO!!! Upgrade to a 1g bov with a bolt-on flange. If you want a flange for your stock piping, PM me for details.

Since I've upgraded to a 1g bov I could immediately tell a difference when holding boost. Sounds, looks & performs better.

Also, have you done a boost leak test? If your going to ask what that is, do a search. EVERYTHING you want to know is ALREADY on this forum, I put money on it. My car has come a LONG way since joining this site. Take your time & read. Less time is spent just looking & finding the answer yourself vs waiting for others to spoon feed you. Not grilling you, just giving you future advice.
