Signal hose came off Manual boost controller. 19psi!
The car felt REALLY strong on the 4th gear pass. I'd just removed the knock retard and added 5 gallons of VP 100 octane. Also replaced the header gaskets. I wanted to see how she ran w/o the false knock. Very impressive to the butt-o-meter. I shut her off at 4,950 rpms(105mph) and then checked the AEM truboost 'history' to see what peak boost I had attained. 18.9psi. WTH? I popped the hood after getting home and found the signal tube (From turbo outlet to the boost TEE) was off. I don't know if it popped off or my wrestling with the hotside to replace the gasket knocked it off. That near 19psi sure felt good though

Hehehe.. yes. Methinks that on the street and on 93 octane, I'll keep her at 15psi but for the track, the VP fuel and 19 or 20 psi.
Lovin' the Turbo life!
