So? We all only get a spike, and it's always highest in 5th. I can't believe you've seen it shoot that high in 5th and haven't immediately gone to fix your boost. How can you have these mods and not know what the proper boost is for 93oct? How is that humanly possible for you not to know that 28psi could completely grenade your motor? I refuse to believe that is possible.

besides arguing with me. My car runs just fine. I know what i see. I am asking for your expert opinion on what i could do to the car. I have ordered a walbro 255 fuel pump. The car is my daily driver. Also i do not dog the car by no means. Typically i am shifting before 4500 rpms. so even if you claim that my car could be on the verge of a engine blown i think that i would have to be winding it out to even consider that.

Like Warr said you need to find a shop to guide you in the right direction. Or at least do some research on here. I wouldnt boost anything over stock voost without a fuel pump. And you really shoudnt be touching boost without a wideband. Man Id be scared of the damage you may have already done to your engine.

I would have it checked out for sure. Hit up the shop warr was talking about even if you have to make a trip. You are destroying your car

No need winding it out if that **** hits 28lbs on stock fueling 4500 rpm is enough. Its going super lean at 28lbs. Your gonna blow somthing up.

You are doging your car by running those insane boost levels on the pump. With no way to monitor what is going on. Like I said you may have already done some damage that will show it face soon enough
