New Boost - it's a good thing!

Andrew,
That's great that DR has a good support system for upgrades and your goal is quite attainable.
Where did you rent or buy your shark tuner from?
I have been reading "How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems" book. Great stuff, along with reading Supercharged -by corky bell. I just bought them new off amazon, a very good price on there too. Both are must haves for 928rs with serious modifications to prevent a meltdown.

Do you know why? I bet it's that POS underated relay in in the control head. The Aux. contacts burn out usually, it will still "click" but will not make contact. I don't know if they were still using that relay at the point your car was made, if so that's probably it.

Woops. Soory guys for not responding sooner. The weekend in Hell had me pretty busy.
DR has loaned it to me, but I'm seriously considering buying one if I can get enough people to chip in on one with me.
Well I've had a littel issue measuring boost. I have an electronic boost gauge that goes flaky when I hit 5500RPM. I've been relying on the Innovate MAP sensor on the AuxBox. With the old pulley I was pulling around 6.3~6.5 PSI according to my datalogs. Now I'm running about 7.5~7.8. So I picked up at least 1 psi.
I've got a ton of tuning to do, but at least I have a shark tuner for that task.
Fabio- You go girl! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

The 400hp rear turbo locally is running I think ~12PSI, so YOU GO ANDREW, there's horses to be had

Ken-
Where are you in Ohio? Our host (Sharks) from Sharks in Hell has an 86.5 that's supercharged. He lives in Ann Arbor. Maybe we can gang up on him and get a little community buy? Just thinking right now...
If you're running 7psi, I'm guessing that the 0.25" will put you just south of 8psi. You're not running the stock crank pulley are you?

If you are able to generate some additional interests, please keep me in mind and drop me a PM.
