Too much boost?
Too much boost?
Al,
when you tuned my car, i drove home and on hard acceleration runs out first gear, i would hit 1.48 at the most on every single run.
On the highway, while gunning it in 3rd, 4th, or 5th, i'll hit 1.6 on the peak hold.
Is this bad or normal? I'm just a little scared...

If you run 1.6 bar, make sure you use good gas. If you are on 93 you probably are ok. Al used the datalogger on my car and I wasn't getting any knock at 23PSI... If it were me, I would turn it down a hair for everyday driving unless you have ARP bolts and fuel system upgrades (Injectors/pump)
I think for anything less than 93, I would set it to 20-21psi tapering from there.
