Default MAX PSI

Ok, I got my GIAC flash a couple of weeks ago and i want to get a Boost machine from Steve.
On his site, it says that 22-23 psi is the recommended boost level. I want to know if that is 22-23psi steady or peak? If its peak, than what should be a good steady psi to adjust to?

You won't be able to adjust the steady with the Boost Machine, that is more a function of your programming,. you adjust the peak with the right ****. Start with about 3 to 3-1/2 turns and see how that is working. Bump it up about a 1/2 turn at a time until you find your range. After that, the left **** is used to adjust the onset, usually 1/2-3/4 turn is about right.

What do you mean by "adjust the onset"

Read this page on Modshack. It should answer most of your questions.

Do you have a BM? If so, how do you like it? What chip/flash do you have?

Yes, I have one. My car is a 180 with APR 91/100 programs. I've got my BM tuned to 19 psi peak and 17 sustained right now. Once the next round of mods is complete (FMIC, DV Relo, Samco Intake Hose, Extrude Hone Manifold and Phenolic Spacer) I should be able to turn up the boost a little.

As Borat says "Very Nice!" Sounds like some of my future mods, I dont know what a "Extrude Hone Manifold and Phenolic Spacer" is though. And i'm still not sold on the DV relocation, not too sure what exactly the benefits are for doing that.

trust me do the dv relocation kit....will make the dv last longer and helps by not blowing hot air back into the intake.....hopefully you can see the benefit in that

Having the dv/bov as close to the throttle body is the better benifiet, but its always nice having it a few degrees cooler though.
