Ok so I asked about this awhile back but I'm still a bit curious. I have the revo stage 1 and have had it about 2 weeks now. It feels like I lost the power that I initially gained. the dealer that flashed my ecu couldn't tell me what it was boosting at and I frankly have no idea because my boost gauge hasn't arrived yet. My question is: What Psi should I be boosting at? I have the medium spring in my dv now which is supposed to support I think 16 lbs, I'm just curious if i should put in the stiffer spring. I'm almost positive I have no boost leaks but its really tripping me out cause I almost am feeling like I through 500 bones right down the toilet[:@] Anyway if anyone has any knowlede at what I should be boosting please lemme know... Oh and I remember talk of the N75. I have clue where the hell it is but I know what it does for the most part. With such a minimal amount of mods would i even really need the race N75.

Thanks guys

 

The boost should be ~18psi. You should have a yellow spring in the dv. You most likely are use to the power level already or since its cold out, the car doesnt perform as well.

As for the n75, dont spend money on a race valve, get a bleed style mbc and be able to control the boost and hold the power longer

 

Cincy I love you bro... haha you are always quick to help out and I read your posts daily..... anyways I figured I should be boosting pretty hard but it is damn cold out so your prob right, also I have seen a steady decline in mpg and honestly I don't stomp it at all anymore because I'm broke... revo claims mpg gains right? maybe I'm just to demanding but my god 16 mpg is killing me

 

its cold and all that is normal. But 16mpg is extremely low unless you are in stop and go traffic 80-90% of the time. But yes, when its warm, mpg should be ~30mpg with mix driving. Most see gains when driving with some control

 

i just had stage2 done and love it... dealer said i was at 17-18. i am changing my spring to yellow tomorrow.

i thought i was getting horrible gas mileage after i started running 22psi....but then this week i realized it was my foot...as soon as i started driving "normal"...(on accident due to a loose sub woofer encloser i didnt want bangin around) and im gettin the best gas mileage ever...i had a full tank on sunday and i still have 3/4 tank and i drive 15mins to school everyday and have drovequite a bit..im very happy but i still have that lead foot problem at some stop signs..hah

 

my turbo'ed cas have always performed better when its cold out.

 

after warm up, but most people only remember the crappy driving when its cold (engines, not weather)

 

ya and NEVER boost your car when its cold(the engine)...get that boost gauge asap..

 

I spike at 20 lbs and drop to around 17. To the OP I know exactly what your saying. I think we have just adjusted to the new power because the first time I drove my car with speed tuning I was elated at 17lbs. Now my car feels 'quick' but not fast like it was when I got it chipped. I think im gonna go bt sooner than I thought.
