I hold around 19 or 20 and spike to about 23 or 24.
It took me a while to get that dialed in.
But it was well worth it.
LOTS of minor adjustments and fiddling... No idea what actual twists on each valve are, though.

I'm pretty much at the same levels, maybe 1psi lower.
Just wanted to see if others where pulling in the same range.
I can go a little higher, but that will throw me into soft limp once in a while so I just dialed it 1/4 of a turn back and never hit limp again.
Do you hold the same in any season? My car always ran great in the summer...just hoping that with BM it will stay this way when weather gets colder.
Thanks

You'll have to do some seasonal adjustments Paul.....
Maybe twice a year with the season changes but you'll be able to maintain consistent performance. It's pretty much "set and forget" once you get it dialed to your liking..

but can I expect the boost to be at the same levels?
I know its not really all about boost, just curious what I'll see on the gauge. I know that prior to stg3 I was seeing lower boost levels in cooler weather.

just a note...
I've noticed that running my boost machine without being chipped yet, I need to make more frequent adjustments to keep the same performance. It seems to have far more variance than the chipped cars report. any time the average temp changes by 10 degrees or more I find myself adjusting, or just making do.
