how to boost 2 more lbs with out MBC?
i wanna how to boost up to 15-15.5 psi with any MBC or EBC or ECU? I mean stay 15.5 psi all the way
can i get a bigger t fitting + bigger hose ???
I don't really know what happen, i just get a 3/16 mod the one i have not really 3/16 i think it liittle bigger!
ok here what happpen b4:
i hit the gas all the way it hit 14 psi quickly that back to 13.5psi
After i get bigger fitting ( small to big) between t fitting and OEm soldined. It hit 15.2 psi and go back to 13.5psi!!
is it spost to do that?
I just wonder what happen if i get bigger t-fitting + big fitting between t and soldined and bigger house? In my mine i think it going to be same!!
Just wonder!! Plz if you think this is dumb don't lol thanks

Running 15.5 psi to redline on the stock turbo is a recipe for BOOM.
Learn about your car first. Most of those hose mods freak out the ECU and leave you with the spiking behavior that you saw.

Running 15.5 on the stock turbo isn't a recipie for boom, the stock turbo and engine setup is effective and will last up 17psi, after that you run into efficiency issues with stock turbo. Trust me, we have a lot of guys running the AVO wastegate actuator around 16.5-17 psi all day long with no problems.

If the car is an '04, doing anything like this is gonna kill it quick.
The stock setup won't safely hold that boost to redline...you will melt something...the boost is supposed to taper towards redline to avoid detonation and excessive EGT's.
Be careful or be rich, and don't try to get it warrantied if you blow it up playing with it.

Well,
15.5 on the stock turbo is close to the max I'd run (and I have a FMIC). Holding 15.5 (stock turbo) to redline is wishfull thinking.

There are many differences in the 04's.
tach is in the center
no radio antenna
different seats
different gauge cluster
totally different front end (hood,headlights, hoodscoop, fogs, etc..)
different ECU
different clutch
different flywheel
New pearlescent(sp?) paint

The worst being the open/closed loop delay. Seats are awesome, front end looks better(not trying to start a war), and the red needles are much better than yellow(who like yellow, what a girl color).

check out the latest issue of Sport Compact Car, there's an issue about a guy that had his stock car boosting 17 psi. He said his engine blew twice and both times he had it repaired under warranty. What a jerk.
