FlyingBAturbo Member 11 Member For: 13y 7m 1d Posted 01/02/13 02:30 AM Posted 01/02/13 02:30 AM Hey guys I had these blitz gauges lying around and hooked the boost one today and took the car for a spin, it shows that boost goes upto 90 kpa (13psi) when has pedal floored during driving BUT only reaches 60 kpa (8.7 psi) when it is floored in neutral , and I have been told that stock ba are only tuned for 6 psi , So can anyone please explain why all these numbers aren't matching ???

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 16y 1m 12d Gender: Not Telling Posted 01/02/13 02:48 AM Posted 01/02/13 02:48 AM Easy fix though, subtract 8 psi and there's your number. Cheers
