If my Electronic boost controller is set to 15psi, should I hear it open at 5psi?

You make the runs, and I'll pay for them... I want that sheet Seriously, if it is like $50 for a couple runs, I'll pay it.

Jon, I just took it for a drive to get it washed at the local 'touchless car wash'. On the way back on a long empty stretch of the road, I down shifted to 4th and floored it. 17.5 PSI baby... Wow... The way the car pulls is amazing. No meth, no water, no alcohol injection, no race gas. Just 93 octane pump and a good, albeit mail order, tune.

Yeah, raw numbers would probably be ~700rwhp before SAE correction with this cold weather.

Dave, I would imagine your setup uses forged internals? I didnt see them in your sig.

Thanks for that write up Dave! I had the same question, and anybody local that I asked said it was normal for the system to bleed pressure under non WOT. I`ve had a hard time accepting that because i hadn`t heard other cars doing it before. Hearing about 100 small blow off sounds while accelerating from 0-40mph in traffic has started getting under my skin! I guess this will work for supercharged cars as well? Research time.......Off to their website
