I have a dumb question about adjusting the psi of my turbo. I'm currently peaking 8psi, and want to adjust it down to 5 or 6 until I build up my bottom end. I barely ever hit 8 psi unless I'm in 4th or 5th gear. I usually just like to boost through 1st and some of 2nd which I only get up to about 2 psi in 1st and 4 in 2nd. If I lower to 6 psi will this effect how fast my turbo spools up. Or will I still be getting the same 2-4 psi through 1st & 2nd?

hey man, dont really have an answer for you, just came by to tell you that youd probably better post this in the turbo section of our site. the moderators dont really like it when you post in the wrong sections and will lock your thread. youll probably get alot more responses in the turbo section too, most people tend not to look at a post if its in the wrong section. not trying to be a prick, just tryin to help you get better results and stay out of trouble with the mods thats all.:thumbsup

Well, more than likely it's still your wastegate that is controlling your boost. If that is the case(no boost controller on car), then you will have to order the stage one wastegate actuator from Haunracecraft, this should put you at appx. 4psi with the sidemount intercooler(which you have). If you wish to raise it up beyond that, you will have to buy some sort of aftermarket boost controller.

doh' I thought I posted this in the turbo forum. Thanks. oh and I was planning on ordering a manual boost controller.
