I run 16lbs, tuned, wideband, bunch of other crap I have thrown together... wicked blowby on #3 and a turbo that like spitting oil after 15PSI.. not to mention the sprinkler seal that activates over 15PSI...

I will be lowering it to avoid oil spitting and knock, GD I need a different setup, cause this p**sy 26-6 just don't cut it anymore, I NEED MORE BOOST...

I'm dialed in at 15PSI on 93 gas in 3rd gear. If I floor it in 4th it will hit 16PSI.

I have a Vitesse MAF, Tial 38mm, 3BAR and 83#'rs and the SFR 3" with no cat.

Maybe I was being a bit scary but on the k26/8 car I had with Vitesse MAF, 72lb injectors, full exhaust/tial/etc. I was running 22psi every day. _Lots_ of fun.

Now I run 15psi or whatever the Autothority banjo bolt did to my stock 86.

John,

How is your new car coming?

Did you ever end up picking up what you wanted?

You don't have to rub it in!!! lol

I would do anything for E85 local.

Hopefully in the near future Rogue will work some magic on a chip for me.

16 psi with Russell's chips burned for 15 to 18 psi on 93 octane with a 26/8. Stock injectors, MBC, Tial 38 & 3 bar FPR. Be sure you get a good boost guage and don't rely on the stock guage.

Thanks for the responce. What do you think of Russell's chips? I have the same (I think). Did you notice any difference from your prior and now comparison? It was reccomended to not install the chips until I had installed the 3 bar FPR and the bigger exhaust. Did you get the same directions?

I've had a hard time to say the least. I believe I finally have what I want worked out now. Its been snowing for 2 days straight around here and will be snowing all week. To say I haven't been making it a priority is fair.

Depending on market it looks like used GS or used zo6.
