10 pounds of boost

[silva180sx1515]

just wondering if anyone else has had the problem of not being able to make 7 pounds of boost. the lowest i can make is 10 for some reason.

[180fan]

do you have an aftermarket wastegate actuator? if it's stock, might be a bad wastegate actuator or it's just stuck. that should be at 7...

Mine stock with 3inch dp & exh. would max out at 8psi.

Mine did 8.5 psi GReddy turbo outlet, DP, TP and exhaust. Put the silencer in and it dropped to 7.5 psi.

Yeah, but I wouldn't call that a problem! I think it's because I have an S13 throttle body which is a bit bigger than the S14. Also, I have the 3" dp.

yeah i have a 3 incher dp, and my autometer reads a max of 9psi. I think its because of the free flow

[mynismo]

yep

the freer flow you have the more boost you're engine will automatically make.

3" outlet, 3" downpipe, 3.7" exhaust, 3" test pipe, tubular manifold, greddy intake, and its pushing .65 bar with no boost controller
