just curious about boost
 

As you can see by my mods in my signature, just wondering what boost I should be gettting? I'm only getting 12-13lbs boost under full throttle but it's sure better than stock. Anybody running a simulartune, &what boost are you're getting?

i think thats roughly what you should get, but its on the low end, i think some 1.8t's are as high as 18-19 lbs. i have similiar mods, im getting a boost gauge soon, so i will know then. i will also have ECS race n75 though

you should be spiking at about 21 and holding around 18 or so

thats what i figured, OP, you seem to be a bit low

check for a boost leak and make sure everything is plugged in tight are you running crap gas or what. something sounds worng here

No, I dont run crapgas,only Sunoco 91 or 94 octane. I'm going change back to the stock settingon my giac, see where it peaks out & if it's not several pounds lowerthen I'll start checking for leaks. Just want to say, I noticed a small performance gain with the dv valve alone because when Ileft the dealership after getting flashed they said I was in pump mode but was still actually in stock mode ( I didnt know until I plugged in my handheld switcher myself & changed programs) & thought the flash wasnt that big of a deal until I switched to the pump progam.I'm going to be puttuing on a cat back exhaust soon, & think this will raise it somewhat, but I'm was still suprised to notice how little time the engine was under boost &how much time it's in vacuum. Either that or my gauge isnt calibrated correctly.
