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

 

[88LXiHB]

So how do I remedey this, what free mods do you recomend?

I have removed my upper and lower honeycomb already...

 

[Auto RS T]

My Auto laser only boosts 6 and a half PSI i think that is right for having the smaller turbo. This is on an OBX boost gauge is this accurate?

 

[TalonTSIYHL]

sorry i havent replied,but thanks for the info.
right now i'm running only 8 psi:

 

[Bohrn]

how did ya get it down to 8?? Must be a boost leak.

 

[TalonTSIYHL]

leak or wastegate im not sue yet

 

[Bohrn]

Unless you have modified your wastegate arm(for length) or it is sticking open, your wastegate shouldnt cause this.

 

[echo]

my 1g runs 12 psi.

 

[TalonTSIYHL]

how do i untick my wastegate besides spraying wd40 on it?

 

[Bohrn]

if it is sticky, it may be from the inside of the turbo. That will require the turbo to be taken apart.

If it is the arm, yea lube it up.

You can run a hose straight from the output nipple on the turbo to the wastegate actuator. Make sure you zap-strap it on both ends. And block off the other open hoses/nipples. Dont let anything get caught in the fan(s). when you do this, you will see 10psi or so max, as this is what the wastegate actuator is set at. I find the throttle response really crappy like this tho, as boost will slightly open it earlier than we are used to with a manual boost controller, but you will know if you can at least get 10psi.

How many lbs of boost can I run on a gen 1 using the stock fuel pump, rail and injectors safely?

thanks

You looked at all our great resources and you still couldn’t find the answer to this question

 

[dugjr24]

I have everything from 9psi to 14psi. Just wanted to get some other opinions. thanks

 

[larryd]

Stock level is 11.x, very close to 12 on a 2g.

 

[Phoenix_RsX]

12. if you go higher than that with mods, be sure to get a 11g bov, or aftermarket. the 2g bov can't handle more than that.

rofl!!!! if you got a upgraded bov, no more than 15 IMO. ppl say it can withstand 17PSI, by why stress it so....my .02 are adding up, when do I get paid.?

they just prolly dont know.. stock is right under 12lbs of boost

 

[nine5raptor]

according to my autometer, when I was stock, I never hit over 9 in first...11 in the other gears.

yo guys not be a dick to the kid he just wanted a quick reply not smide remarks, the answer to your question is this, stock it will run at about 10-11 psi , if you wanna turn it up " I " say go no higher than 15psi, that is a safe range, and that stock 1g bov is good for it

I'll tell you what. How about YOU sit here an answer the same question over and over again. I think that question shows laziness and lack of effort. Its very annoying.
