(hopefully)

12lbs isn't very much...boost and Tuning will make a huge difference.

like a holy $hit huge diff.....turbo will be swapped out soon...jus wanna see if i can maximize the turbos full potential..i want somewhere round 330 + whp i think i have the mod to do it...but right now im a little upset...ya know..?....

 

[dsmrunaway1]

i see u have the evo3 2.....say u turned ur $hit down to 12 lbs somtimes even 11....(cold weather makes my boost jump around i think) ud be worried bout 14bs passing u right ?....

Tuning helps tremendously. But nothing beats adding +10 psi for power, you should pick up 100 horsepower going from 12 psi to 22 psi, considering your supporting mods. Your average 16g doesn't feel good at 12 psi. I liked 16 psi and above, thats where it started feeling good. I'm surprised your that restrained, first thing I did when I got my 16g years ago was crank the boost up to 21 psi, the hell with it

its not that im restraint...i should have metioned this in the beginning....im still breaking in motor from fresh rebuild...block was all done kinda 2g pistons on 1g rods...new everything in the block...arp everything....micropolished crank....bored .20 over honed ...the head was milled also...its really got tons of potential...but i jus wanna make sure all my crap will work to its fulliest at 20+ lbs of boost

Well I never ran lower then 15lbs on my Evo 3 and going from 15 to 20 was night and day...sometimes it would creep up to 23ish and that was a big difference from 20.

i understand and that makes me feel better...i don't want u to think im a newbie guys..i really know the ups and downs of these cars...i jus wanted to get everyones opinion on the boost levels...i mean i know i def have the mods to be really quick...but i jus needed to hear from someone else...thanks guys.......
