i think 22. not sure. someone correct me if im wrong. id go 20-21 just to be safe though
35...
Dont go above like 18 spike and hold more than 15-16 , unless ur on S2 .

Someone correct me if im wrong ........... But there is a search button on the top right there , it may help ..............
depends on fuel, knock, detionation, timing and egts. I run 21-22psi but thats because i have return line, boomba rail, wideband etc. But this doesnt mean your car can do it. Get fuel and watch the afr and timing.
Alright.... spike 18-19lbs and hold 15-16lbs... you should be fine.

*holds back* If you're running stock, meaning, no upgraded Wastegate, don't even bother with a boost controller.
how much boost can a ported compressor and manifold handle?

23.

anything past is useless.
you need to be careful....get a scan gauge...then a widebnd....and then start fucking with that shit....the more boost you run with out a proper way to adjust it (i.e. a fuel conroller, do not buy a map clamp imo) will just transfer over to more problems....and the higher boost you run the more you need to watch the timing on the scan guage (so get W/M injection, that will help).....stock fuel- 17spike.....fpr mod- 20 (maybe more, depending on how you have it set) fpr/ W/M inject- 22 (and adjust accordingly with your AFC)...good luck
I'm on 22.5psi with 1-2kr and a low 11-high 10 a/f at redline. Holding 17-18psi.
16-17 prolly but monitering knock would be advisable
We can't boost over 18psi on a stock setup because the 2 bar MAP can't read over it, or because we don't have the fuel to go over that, or both?

If I get return line/pump, and push a 19-20psi spike, would the pcm pull timing because it can't see boost psat 18.5psi or whatever? Would I need to clamp it going over 18.5 psi?
just duct tape the WG and turn up the boost to 30 psi :thumbsup:

you are not holding 20.
and you are not holding 20 w/ a weak s2 wga either. period.

take a pic of you driving at 6250rpms holding 20 w/ NO faulty gauge.

dont argue me. argue physics.
