before i had a tune I didn't not run that much boost at 2 step, don't know why, maybe something to do with being so rich or maybe something to do with the timing or mivec maps on a stock car.

Now with a flash I'm boosting more off the line.


Get a flash you will probably see an increase, of course you might not boost much at a lower 2step rpm. Again mine is at 6K

The reason why your not boosting as much as the rest of us is because all of the posters have raised the launch control via flash. Thus if you raise yours too you will see more boost when launching.

1.72's launching at 6000 RPM, NO boost (still vacume) with Excedy S1 clutch and ported (not removed) hydraulic restrictor.

I don't use rev limiter for launch - it makes my car retarded from stationary knock and also I can't afford new transmissions at this point

Well i have a built motor with a larger turbo, so pulling a little more timing on the 2 step wont hurt.

Just b/c the boost gauge is saying you are boosting 19psi does not mean it is accurate. I had a leak on one of my boost lines, and i thought it was reading right at the time. It was showing 22psi and when i did a boost leak check it wasnt even hitting 20psi.
