And when people say they have 1.7 bar, is that 17 lbs?

I was thinking my gauge might be off, but if I had messed up on the installaTTion, it would probably read too low instead of too high, right?

Thanks!

Actually, I dont know much about SPS3 so I wont speak in certain terms, but I would think 25psi on 93 shouldnt be too high.

24psi of boost is the point of diminishing returns as far as creating heat vs horsepower.

but then you are talking "spike" - where do you settle?

Oh, and 1.7 bar is the number of "atmospheres". So 1.7 x 14.2(?) is your psi number
(is 14.2 right? somehow I think it may be 14.7....)

Basttion

Me either, but everybody else seems to be spiking at 21 or 22...

Basttion

And either way, that multiplier puts the boost up around 24.5 and greater, so that seems in line.

Thanks for the heads up!

the gauge installation can not be messed up, you either have vaccum or you dont.

Where did you tie it into?

Also, I replied to your earlier post regarding boost.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1316032.phtml">See that post here, although it is a few posts below</a></li></ul>

I don't know, maybe I should dial it down to 4 or five on the boost...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1315655.phtml">ghettofabulous</a></li></ul>

I'm running a boost machine on stock ecu and I spike to just under 19 and hold 16-17.

hmmm. I guess it depends on what you mean by "settle" the needle's always moving, ya know?

Basttion

would I feel a power decrease with a boost leak?
