MAX BOOST

dirtmaster666 · 11-17-2010, 11:22 PM

just curious what is the max psi you could probobly run with catback exhaust charge pipe with synapse bov and dci..(basically i looking to get the procede and just wondering what the highest safest psi i could run).i am new to this and i prob stick to the autotune but just curious.

In terms of 'safety', high octane fuel is very important when running higher psi. So, for short bursts of accleration or 1/4 mile drag races, some people go to 16-17psi with your level of mods. You should really get downpipes and an intercooler if you want to go higher. Again, octane will help keep you safe.

Downpipes, intercooler, and meth: shoot for the stars (I recommend staying below 18)

Make sure you run meth and racegas for max boost

Bimmer This · 11-18-2010, 12:10 AM

below 16 psi would be considered safe.

if you get a procede AUTotune will set your psi to the most efficient PSI.

One time I got autotuned to 19 psi.

lol. How'd you do that?

infinitekidM2C · 11-18-2010, 01:27 PM

must have messed with the max boost limit

BrianMN · 11-18-2010, 01:49 PM

Or been running race gas in ideal conditions. I have been autotuned in upwards of 18psi with race gas and ideal conditions

infinitekidM2C · 11-18-2010, 01:51 PM

Well im saying even if ur car can theoretically target 20 psi, the procede has a threshold max boost level that he must have messed with..i think its set at 17 or something.

Yeah, it does have a max boost setting, but if you are running racegas and want to up the boost that can be done.

i am running 94 octane so with the mods done so far if i set max psi to 16 and use auto tune i should be safe?
