Boost level

[MR2CHIPO]

Hey guys!

I've been baby'ing my car for the last year after getting the engine rebuilt. Long story short its time to turn up the boost :biggrin: Its only been going to 8lbs max. Question is: Is 14-15 lbs safe with parts mentioned below? The TT chip was set for 93 octane, but here in Vegas can only get 91. Thanks is advance for your input


Parts list:
fuel pump HOTWIRE kit
ceramic coated header (postons)
upgraded turbine from MIC Turbo in Miami
Upgraded cam ( part of Poston's kit)
42lbs injector and chip from TURBO TWEAK
K&N filter
Upgraded radiator from an F-body
Boost and Temp gauges
Adjustable wastegate

When you start turning up the boost you are going to love the difference in power. 14-15lbs is still on the conservative side.

I do not see in your list that you have a Scanmaster. I would highly suggest installing one before adjusting anything. Keep an eye on your 02s and turn up the boost until you start to see it lean out or notice any knock.

Son of a B#@*!

Turned up the boost a bit to the 14# and after a day of driving and falling in love with my call all over again, the PS header cracks I'll get it welded up on Thursday and enjoy happy spooling again. NNice difference from the 8# though :biggrin:
