is it safe to raise the boost to 10 psi wit the stock wastegate.... i got a manual boost controller..

 

Would you have to raise it to reach 10 psi? Stock I am spiking 16, holding 13-14....

 

see i peak and hold at 8

 

HOLY BOOST LEAK BATMAN!!!

8psi in all gears??? you gota a leak somewhere bud! inspect, check and double check all of your lines and connections. what modifications do you have? ghetto occ? you should be peaking at 16/17 and then holding around 14psi STOCK (first gear is not quite 14)

 

i got a exhaust,dp,intake, and a bov.... my guage never reads at like 20 on the vac side is always between 22-30 liek it varies all the time.... when i gun it in all gears it goes straight to 8 psi and holds.... only like one time did it go up to 10 psi and hold but that was in 5th gear going bout 140mph

 

at idle you should read a vac of about 20 give or take 1. perhaps your boost gauge is in need of attention? either your gauge is way off or your leaking massive amounts of boost somewhere

 

Yes you either have a major boost leak or you have a broken boost gauge.....I had to replace mine after only 8k miles

 

could it be the hoses from the bov? what size hoses did u guies use for ur bov connection...

 

explain a little further... are you talking about the little hose on the stock BOV or do you have an aftermarket? most aftermarket have no 'hoses' although i have seen a strange setup in which a T was placed by the intake manifold, on the vac line from the pvc -> intake manifold... off of the T, a line went down under a little ways where a BOV was placed... never seen anything like it before or after

 

i got an hks bov... im tlkin bout the vaccume lines
