Some people push it to 26psi but by then your turbo is done. I've spiked at 23 and hold at 18 easy. Thursday night kwik_shift's was spiking at 22psi and holding at 17 approx. after the 1+ flash, so its ok on the engine and turbo for a while. (You won't see that much boost if you got it floored as our cars aren't as efficient WOT)

 

for a while? that dosent sound to reasuring i dont want m car to possibly blow up im gonna be paying her off for the next 4 years id want to still have her by then lol

and what do you mean you wont see much boost if the car is floored... why not? WOT?

 

For a while... meaning probably a very long time, I'm still yet to hear about someone having turbo issues due to a chip.

Our cars are complicated to see true eficiency, we lose boost at 5300 so after that if we still got it floored the power isn't there. My car is a lot faster when I have the pedal pushed down somewhat, while watching my boost before shifting up. I might see the 23psi if I'm pushing it up from 3rd gear but if I punch it I'll only see 18 or so... its complicated.

 

Anything you do to the car to get more power will put more stress on the engine, that is just the way it works And lets face it, **** on a bone stock engine breaks, your just increasing the possibility something might break a little. something with a small stress crack may be fine running under stock conditions but that little extra your adding might just be to much for it, this is why you see the rare "i chipped my car and it's broken now" crying. I (and many others) am running a stage 3 elim setup and haven't had to replace my engine.

Go Revo, i had to flash over all my APR software, not the end of the world, but i could have saved myself $500 if i had planed things correctly from the beginning.

And yes, WOT (Wide Open Throttle / Peddle to the floor) is much slower then pressing about 2/3rds of the way down. I didn't really notice it until i went stage 3 where it's VERY noticeable.
