[QUOTE="Danbonzo, post: 106869, member: 1648"] I'll post this here because I think its related to my wastegate/ regulator setup. What #'s are you guys seeing for boost pressure? I'm looking to get a consensus before I start tearing into it. Quick review of whats going on and my concerns. Ever since installing waste gate my maximum MAP (Manifold ABSOLUTE Pressure) I record is right around 38psi. I'm @ sea level so give or take depending on the weather on average that equates to about 24psi MGP (Manifold Gauge Pressure) or what the gauge in dash displays. I've completely backed off regulator to see if I could get boost to rise. Nothing. Now I know the actual max. boost level will invariably differ from tune to tune, but I'm primarily interested in the race tune numbers. Say 275 hp and up since these are my daily driver files. To narrow my field, I currently run Spartan files and I've been running 300hp file (nice DD tune). I've run all files from 210 and up to 310 (truthfully 350 also but I won't blast it cause I'm not about to roast my stock trans, so not an accurate assessment) with all the same results at or about 38 psi MAP. I briefly discussed with a buddy today and we are both thinking either gate is plumbed wrong or regulator is not working cause he see's 48 psi easily on average. Don't get me wrong my ride still gets and goes damn well but I want to realize the limits because my motor can safely and easily handle the bad boy files with the mods I've done (see sig.) I'm gonna try and bypass the regulator to see if I can get gauge to move, if that doesn't show a result I'll look to plumbing on gate. So what do you guys see for yours? Could you [U]please identify your maximum psi in either MAP or MGP and what/who's hp file/[/U] you are recording? This will help me pragmatically get to the bottom of this. EP figures would be great also? I want to play :evil Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
