Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Question Regarding boost numbers?

[JaMan]

I recently pluged off the wastgate line at the elbo to see what kind of boost I could make and I can only get the gauge to 32-33# does this seem right or do I have a boost leak again? Dynoed at 322 hp and you should get 1# per 10Hp. this is right but should It get any more than that?





Thanks Jared

I've heard the 1 to 10 theory doesn't hold up too well when you start modifying things. Looking at your sig. , I'd say you are doing fine in the boost dept.

Sounds pretty good to me. I get 33-34 PSIG with the Edge EZ's boost elbow and other mods as shown in my signature.

Before with the boost elbo I got about 31# when I plugged it my boost only went to 32-33#, was just trying to make sure there is no boost leak to hunt for. My lower end seems sluggish so I was worrying.
