I recently installed stage 1 and a agp wastegate. I currently have the wastegate adjusted to hold 15 psi, spiking around 17-18 psi. Later this week I will be installing the greddy profec spec II boost controller. Will it be safe for me to hold 17 psi and spike, I'm guessing around 18-19 psi with the stage 1 fuel setup. Or will this be pushing it a little much.

 

That sounds fine to me. I know that most people say 16psi is the safe limit for stock ECU, but with stage 1 I think 17psi should be ok.

 

Sounds a-ok.

 

thanks

 

Thats wierd..... it must be the climate but down here in Miami the SRT my buddy has spikes 27lbs and holds 22-24 depending on boost controller setting. and its running near rich with s1 pcm and s1 injectors. nothing else in the essence of fuel.

Could it be the climate????

 

btw i know its not recommended to run the turbo over 19 lol... Just some people dont care or want to be the first to find out the limitations

 

yeah i don't want to be that person

 

oh he will find the limitations soon enough if he keeps boosting at that level on stock turbo.[sm=badidea.gif]

 

Speaking of the devil lol i remember when we were installing the cams and springs that when we hooked up the air hose into the heads so that the valves would not drop we heard a hiss (air leak) leaking from 2 pistons... in other words bad rings or possibly other things going bad ... But you have to think about what you do to it..... I have learned that if you want ONE HECK OF A CAR get a srt4.. its fast, easy to mod, and tough... we didnt know but he ran for about 3 months drag racing every weekend and daily commuting about 50miles per day on 1/2 pint of tranny fluid.... last night we checked it and to our amazement... no MORE than a mouthfull of listerine comes out of the tranny. we were in shock! but went to discount (local autoparts store) and got 3 quarts of oil and bam new tranny lol it was incredible!

 

strange it shouldnt be that low unless one he under serviced it or 2 he has leak in tranny.
