Stock Boost?

[left_toe_low]

Hey,

I finally just installed a mechanical boost gauge. Now it's got me wondering if all systems are normal. Does anyone care to shed some light on what their stock boost values are?

I haven't had a chance to drive mine on the highway yet, or past 3rd gear...
So far I've noticed very little boost in first. about 6psi in 2nd..and i had to slow down in 3rd for the neighborhood kids..

What should I expect to see in higher gears? What is the max that I can expect to see with a stock MSP? Does it hold pressure when cruising at 75mph on the highway?

Thanks,

LTL

about 6.5 psi at wide open throttle. all gears.

some boost just a little more and some just a little less. mine was pretty on the dot with 6.5

When my car is stock, which it is now, I'm around 6-6.5 psi. When I had CAI, FMIC, and Vibrant exhaust it would spike up to 9.5 and settle down to 8.5psi.

yea 6.5 pounds at stock level. dont go over 10 pounds, if its a stock engine.
