How much more boost can be made w 98 Oct
I have the following : Injen intake & IC pipe, Full TBE(Burscher copy w/Magnaflow resonator & muffler),Forge MBC,GFB BOV and a custom tune by Al on 93Oct.
I'm now running the equivelent of 98 Oct and have noticed a big improvement in over all performance, the car is faster, gets up in the RPMs much more quickly and boosts faster too, a very noticable difference. I've been running 21.5 PSI of boost since Al tuned it and set it.
What is the most boost I can turn it up to without any harm, I was thinking 2-3 psi over my present setting
?

I ment to say "Buschur", but messed up.I'm not sure who they made it after, that's what Al called it. I bought it used from a guy off this site several months back for $400. shipped.
So how are you liking CO? Must have some nice mountain roads to drive on! but I bet it's cold too.

If you like cliffs on one side, trees on the other, and snow in the middle then it's great! It's a good thing it's summer now.
Colorado Springs is mostly city or highway though. All the good mountain roads are occupied by old people walking their dogs or Civics playing Initial D.
I'll let Warr answer now.

I love CO. The weather is not cold at all. It was 70 today and will be 70-75 the rest of the week with blue skies, bright sun and no precipitation. There were a few cold days, but nothing like I expected.
The weather will be great for racing this weekend, so I can't wait.
If you are using pure 98oct, then you can run 24psi pretty safely, I'd say.

There is no such thing as boost cut. If you still are able to hit fuel cut, then you aren't tuned and shouldn't be messing with race gas and high boost anyway, imo. With a flash, for example, there is no fuel cut. Regardless, you don't go around raising boost until you hit fuel cut. You set boost at a certain point based on your mods, tuning, and octane.

I run nothing but sunoco 100 in my car @ 25 psi with no issues at all. I dont think it is worth it if your not tuned for it, its expensive. I will be installing a meth injection kit shortly. $100 every fillup is getting to me since Im driving the car more now, oh well.
