whats the boost supposed to be on stage 2 w toys
Just installed stage 2 and was just wondering what kind of boost numbers I should be seeing. In dab 3 Im boosting up to 15 (which I did when I was stock) and holding 15 in 2nd, and 3rd without it dropping off(like it did when it was stock, would drop down to 12 or 13). It is about 30 degrees colder now its around in the 30* to 40* range in warrenton Va. Just needed to know if its good or if i need to adjust the wastegate. Thanks and I hope all this made sense.

I'm sure the numbers are normal. I still got a stock turbo and my boost numbers dropped off a little bit since it's gotten cold. I was told the turbo don't have to boost as much to achieve the power because it's cold. Hey, i'm in South East DC. Do you know of any srt-4 clubs around here? Or just anywhere where people meet up?

Didn't know you were at 35 degrees in the last post that I responded to - 17 psi with a couple pounds higher spike might be slightly high - but you should still get pretty close. It was 30 today, here and I was at 16-17 in third. Didn't have as high a spike, though. Maybe 17.5-18psi on the spike. 15 is still a little low. She still has a little left, I think.

Adjusted the wastegate to 4mm and this is the result.
2nd will spike over 15 to 16 or 17 and then drop back down to 15
3rd will spike to 15 hold there or drop down to 14 and then build up to 16 or 16.5 from 4,000rpm till redline
4th and 5th act like third no spike in boost holds close to 15-16 till redline
Is this normal or should I adjust the wastegate some more, and if so should I lengthin it or shorten it any pointers will help out a lot. Thanks again for all your help.
