Hit 10psi of boost yesterday!?!
Umm... this was a mistake, but I found out how the car feels at 10psi
I put on the new boost regulator and the damn thing doesn't work, keeps pushing 10psi no matter what I set it to. I am quite fed up and going to just change my WG spring now.
Luckily I have the E-manage programmed to stuff a ton of fuel through the extra injector upto about 12psi, so fuel wasn't an issue. However, I was skeptical as to how the motor would handle it and it seemed fine (although the 2nd time I gunned it, it detected a misfire).
Anyways, it ripped the tired loose in 3rd gear!!
Pretty intense feeling... too bad I won't be feeling it again

watch the detonation, ive seen sooo many detonation pits on pistons, detonation is EVIL, heheh, we had a bad fuel pump from walboro once and we were detonating on forged pistons, loss of power but engine still ran, open it up, the rings held the piston together, as soon as we pulled it out of the cylinder the landing rings kinda crumpled

Damn! This should've happened on my street so I could hear some sick CL sounds through my window.
Oh well, glad your car wasn't hurt, Ram. Is 8 psi the highest stable boost, then?

I know what you mean. A vacuum line came off of the wastegate control solenoid in my Typhoon one time. Without knowing, I got on it and it spiked to over 20 PSI. The power increase was so noticeable that is shocked me. But I didn't want to do that too often.
