my low cost set up is gonna be the smic with the wastegate at the stage one level of 5psi.

Not sure about the stage 1, but I have the stage 2 with fmic and thers a 2psi drop. I go from 7 to 5 But hopefully after I get this 3" exhaust thats sitting right next to me put on, it will help out. Who knows.....?

Where do you have your wastegate vac line connected? If it is connected before the intercooler, then you will see pressure drop. If it is connected after the intercooler, then the pressure drop will be eliminated, as the wastegate will control boost so that the set PSI is reached in relation to the manifold, and not pre-intercooler.

Dude, Boeing called. They want their wing back.

Me: Can I put that in my sig?
Dark0ne95: GO right fucking ahead.

You can always just buy a boost controller for $40-50 and turn the boost back up. Then you don't have to worry about the pressure drop.

You are not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fu**ing post count.

i meant the 1g smic (notice the low cost) doh!!!! NOT the hrc smic

yea, i see 5-7 psi with my fmic. i should have a boost controller in the next few days to control that...

usually its a 1 psi drop through the fmic. as stated above, a boost controller easily remedies the situation.

Yeap, 1g SMIC, using a wastegate boost source at the comrpessor, you will see a 1 psi pressure drop. If you want to eliminate this drop, run the boost line at the wastegate actuator to the intake manifold, instead of the comressor outlet fitting..
