Boost machine requiring more turns...?
I was a little late to post in this thread:
<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1477483.phtml">BM Question></a>
But I've got my Stage 3, APR chipped, 225 TTQC, BM cranked up to 5.75 turns, and I'm just afraid of overdoing it. The boost gauge says I'm peaking at ~19.0, where I was boosting close to 22 before with fewer turns. I understand that controlling boost is a dynamic process; it needs to be tweaked. I just don't want to break something. Is this still in the normal range Steve, et al.?

You shouldn't have to keep compensating...>>
Once the car settles in to the adjustments, It's generally a set and forget. There will always be some variations day to day due to weather, temps, etc. Sounds like something else may be holding you back. Healthy MAFs and temp sensors are critical. Go back to 0 and try a re-tune.
