Cold Air Intake adds 30hp??!!

hmm...that's weird...i thought the stock boost level for ms3 is 16, but according to my defi boost gauge, I am peaking at 19.

my guess is you spike to 19 and hold 15-16

I swear I get a little more boost with SRI, weird

Stock boost is at 15.6 PSI...

I guess it would be possible to increase boost with an intake (mine never did) since you are unrestricting the flow of air.

What kind of temps are you driving in?

I am driving in cali, where temp has been cool for the past couple weeks. I have Bov that is not re-circ. so maybe that has something to do with it.

Many others have put on aftermarket BOV's and noticed slight boost increases as well as faster spool times. 4th 5th and 6th also usually have higher boost than 15.6 even completely stock. What gear are you noticing the higher boost levels in?

There you have it!!! The stock BPV leaks...

3rd gear around 16, and 4-5 gear at 19.

Damn, I peak at around 20, but settle back down to 16.6 is all my gears...
How are all you guys boosting higher...?? (bang)

I would love to be at 18 PSI base pressure...

Thats around normal even with a stock intake and BOV. The stock one does hold less boost like autoxracer said though

 

[SwampAss]

I have an MS CAI and an MS CBE and my boost levels are unchanged from stock as I also have a boost gauge.

Why are there so many inconsistencies with boost level in our cars?
Is there an issue with the boost controller...? No two MS3 have the same base boost and peak...

Since I was the lead designer to the MS3's ECU coding and have substantial knowledge in relation to your question, the answer it quite obvious.

Your turbo needs to be recharged.

A new muffler bearing and synthetic blinker fluid would also help.

The first thing I typed was muffler bearing. heh
