Default NE1 using a ProfecSpec2 on a 2001 APR STGIII?? ......

sick of my boost bleeding.. i dont run a boost gauge but i can obviously hear and feel it.. i know the car would be quicker/faster being able to hold the boost all the way up..
ideas, feelings on this?
here is my setup:
-apr stgIII
-apr fmic
-custom 3inch turbo back using apr high flo, chopped after element and continuing 3inch to a borla xr1
-HMS bpv
-k&n
-sachs race clutch

thanks in advance.. i have heard of a twitchy throttle etc with the EBC ..

Default how would you plan to set the proper boost if you don't have a boost gauge?

There are still spec 1's available if you look around.

Default hmmmm..not sure about that

from what little I've heard about hte spec 2, it isn't so good. All the stage 3 guys running greddy profec b's are running the spec 1. I believe the one person who tried a spec 2 had a problem with it. The thing we like about the spec 1 is the simplicity of it.

Default you need a boost gauge...

stg3 without a gauge? wow...

I run a profec B spec 1, just put it in a few days ago. My boost's holding at 20psi to redline.
