discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 04/10/10 01:27 PM Share Posted 04/10/10 01:27 PM One thing I discovered while towing... I can hit 25PSI in 5th easily, I really gotta watch out. I was on the Forrest Hwy and playing a bit getting it to flutter, when I glanced at the boost gauge to see it sliding slowly above 25 and setting off the warning light!!! Scary. I need to determine how accurate the gauge is...the filter is inside the cabin so maybe I could get it pressure tested real quick. That and log to laptop to make more pretty graphs like I did a while ago!So glad I bought a boost gauge! Don't want to bend rods needlessly...

I wouldn't let it go much further than what your car is tuned to (15psi..etc)!Give Simon a ring and tell him hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped when I saw it go that high...I'll call him on lunch break from uni today, looked a little less busy at the shop, only had about 5 cars sitting around outside (LOL).In his thread on the new Nizpro overboost relief valve he mentioned even that won't save a manual car loaded up in 6th going up a hill, it seemed to be a similar thing since I was towing at the time Edited 04/10/10 11:15 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That light silvery colour called mist I think. 375 RWKW's, My Xtreme package. Drives great. 12000 kms on it.

Apparently the spoiler cost $2500. Each to their own though....Too true .... $2500 wasted IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
