Stock Boost [Merged 5-7]

[Gs-tHaVoC]

hehe kinda dumb question but whats stock boost on my car? just wondering if its worth it to install a boost controller and gauge without bov thats all. thanx

 

[nightspeed87]

How much do stock 1gs boost at, ( havent hooked up boost gauge yet since im puttin in new engine) Im thinkin like 7- 8lbs on 1g.

 

[CanadianTSi]

More like 10-12. 9 Is wastegate pressure so that is the lowest you could run.

 

[donmagicjuan]

Awesome that someone actually did a boost leak test found the leak and it fixed there problem...Imagine That.

Shhh, nobody tell Bruce!

 

[GST_eclipse_95]

To clairify....that's 14PSI (spike), then the plastic BOV leaks down to 11PSI.

Thanks man i've been trying to find out what psi the stock bov leaks at.

I just got a Hallman MBC to replace my Joe P that a friend wanted to buy and put it in screwed all the way out at stock boost. It boosted to 9 psi It was like driving my moms minivan (I had boost set at 15 psi before the swap) It just felt so weird, and I thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever signifigantly lowered their boost and felt how weird it was.

On another note, I love how much more precise the Hallman RX is than normal boost controllers.

Umm, stock boost is zero for me but I definetly forgot how slow my car was without boost.

I was reminded when I took out my wastegate spring b/c it was leaking and I was waiting on a new one holy crap 8 psi isn't anywhere near fast, but my god no boost is ridiculously slow, I felt like I was crawling.

I remember not long ago. I sold my GST last month and it was almost bone stock with T25 turbo. It wasn't that bad, I did lose like 3/4 of my power though which sucked but was still faster than any VTAKKK honda hahaha

 

[nube90]

Yea I remember because im boostin stock or less than cause I have no boost gauge other than the stock junker it's bone stock and 16years with mega boost leaks im suspecting.

Although I do know one thing it is a hell of alot faster than my 95 N/T it's like night and day.

 

[Thomas91169]

yeah i remember when i sold my GST i went from 20psi Evo16g setup to stock everything (but the catback) and wow. sucks when you lose 1/2 of your output. i almost got killed cause i forgot one night and went to pass a big rig and the power i expected to kick in wasnt there anymore.

Sssssssssoooooooo Sssssssslllllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww

 

[tstkl]

just went from 21 to 10


OOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGG

 

[bartels903]

Well my car wasnt running long enough for above 12 so I dont know big boost.

 

[Killa_dsm]

I don't think I want to remember what stock boost was like. Damn those T-25's!!!

 

[talontd92tsi]

I remember taking my buddy who used to have a STi for a ride at 15psi, then having a conversation of the night and day difference, he said it couldnt be that much, turned the boost controller all the way down, he was amazed

then we proceded to put the mbc on the STi and laugh hysterically when we hit fuel cut, threw a check engine light and the cruise control light started blinking. Thank god for free code scans at autozone

 

[danyz250f]

My gf has a tsi awd that is stone stock. I am reminded of where i used to be everytime I drive it.

thats cause their boost is controlled by the ecu.

 

[talontd92tsi]

I know that now, however back then, i did not, but we were able to get it to 17-18 ish before the computer decided to tell us to stop it.

Good times were had by all

 

[Nautica985]

yea i drove my friends stock tsi once and i seriously thought something was wrong with it because it felt so slow

 

[steve-o_95_GST]

I drive my car at 24psi and then i drove my friends 1g with 9 psi and I was really supprised to say the least. I thought it was broken and was waiting for more boost haha.

 

[JC78C]

I can't emagine driving my eclipse on stock boost, it just wouldn't feel right, My first turbo setup with my T3/T4 turbo was running about 25psi with half & half gas & race fuel

 

[RedRain]

I used to run 20 PSI on my 20G then turned it down to 10-12 PSI and it feels alot safer to know something might not break.

 

[Deadly BlaZe]

Stock boost isn't too bad. I feel a pretty decent pull at 11 psi in 1st and 2nd gear. I can only imagine how 20 psi feels.

 

[VPrime]

I just raised my boost to 15 Psi last week... Not too different.. just 15PSI puts me more into my seet then stock

 

[rampridersrider]

If you're on the stock T-25, then thats why you didn't feel much of a difference.

 

[TheClaw]

I drove a buddy's stock 1G AWD and I almost cried.

Night and day
