FlyingBAturbo Member 11 Member For: 11y 10m Posted 01/02/13 02:30 AM Share Posted 01/02/13 02:30 AM Hey guys I had these blitz gauges lying around and hooked the boost one today and took the car for a spin, it shows that boost goes upto 90 kpa (13psi) when has pedal floored during driving BUT only reaches 60 kpa (8.7 psi) when it is floored in neutral , and I have been told that stock ba are only tuned for 6 psi , So can anyone please explain why all these numbers aren't matching ???
