Im getting ready to put in a boost guage and would like to know what stock boost (psi) I should be at. That way I will know if I have any leaks or not. Using the search and doing some digging I've I think it should be 19 or 20 psi. But is this right?

I have an 03 VIII

 

yea thats right. next time look a little harder or BUY a boost gauge first..

 

Yeah, that is right, and the reading will taper off as you approach redline. What brand of gauge are you putting in? I wouldn't just rely on the gauge alone to tell if you have any leaks. Build your own leak tester. They are easy to put together. Search for it in the forums, you will find out how.

 

so, i know it will taper off a bit. but generally should be around 19 or 20 right? its a sport-comp (autometer)

 

Why did you ask again? The question was answered in the first reply, and it has also been answered in about 1000 threads. Lastly, Mitsu also answers it on their website where it shows the stats for the Evo.

 

Every time I think I may want the Buschur/Warrtalon package for my IX I read one of your posts and it changes my mind...

 

Yup

 

I'm sure he's upset that you cut off your nose to spite your face. [/sarcasm]

 

LOL. It's funny that you say that, because whoever Warrtalon is, definitely does not represent the Buschur name very well. All his posts, from what I've read so far, are condescending and/or ill-willed. Never do I see a, "it's ok if you missed it, but here's a link." More like, "ARGHHH NEWBIE ARGHH." Again, I just find it humurous.

 

Actually, I think he fits just fine. Dave can be a condescending ***** too, and I think he would more often if he didn't have his name attached to his company. Warr can just do it all the time because he isn't burdened by the same name association. Attitude or not, both are knowledgeable, and offer a ton of useful information.

Regardless, it's not difficult to strip the information away from the tone of the post, as warr almost always answers the question at hand, and usually in a concise manner.

 

Very true. I just think he'd be MORE direct and concise if just pulled the "theres a search button," instead of his elongated newb mockery.

Eitherways, he definitely is an asset to this community.

 

If you delt with stupid questions day in and day out from people too lazy to do some research on their own you too would be annoyed and start snapping at people.

 

I answered the question, even though it had already been answered in this thread and many other threads. If you don't like how I answered, then I'm sorry, but you need to grow up. There were 5-6 responses to my reply that didn't answer the question - ask yourself if that makes any sense. As for not getting the package just because of my "tone," well again I'm sorry - punishing yourself is your prerogative. I don't sell the packages - I just put them together to help Evo owners save time and money in the effort to make their Evos fast. Take it or leave it.

To reiterate, the first reply was correct. To be more "concise" (thank you, Pessimistick), the stock boost on an 03-04 is 19.5psi peak tapering to 16psi.

 

I understand your point of view, but as a person (warr) who is supposed to have vast knowledge on a topic that so many people have an interest in, you would think that these experts would be more willing to share their knowledge and not be so condescending with their replies. They are looked upon as leaders in this forum and as leaders you are expected to behave in a way that will bring credit upon themselves or people will stop listening to you. This is especially important in a business where your customers decide if you are going to eat that month or not. If that doesn't mean anything to you then about if you don't have anything nice to say then keep your damn trap shut!!

 

noone is making him come to this forum or paying him to or clicking on threads that he knows have been answered he could just stay away from them. so whats his reason for snapping and being an *** again?
