What's stock untuned boost limit?
My car gets a bit of overboost once in a while, hitting 22-23psi, and when it does it cuts hard. Normal? I'm getting tuned next Friday anyway lol.

the tune should help...it's because of your un-tuned exhaust modifications for the most part

My car must be tuned then. When I purchased it from the dealer it was running about 26-28 psi without any cut out at all. I guess theres not really any way to find out for sure if it has been tuned though.

Ya, i figured that something was done with the ecu for not having fuel cut or anything at that psi level. The problem is im not sure what. lol.

get some tools to monitor your car, mitsulogger or evoscan, cable and wideband. you will be happier knowing that your motor is running correctly

FOr daily use i'd say keep it anywhere from 15-17psi. And thats for DD. If you had to try to get it tuned at around 21-22psi. Play it safe man. Your not running Any alch. or meth And your on Pump gas.

Yeah, I thought it was something like that, it only does it in 3rd or 4th, full WOT, anything less than full throttle, and it pulls fine. Tune T-minus 5 days.

Just don't get on it too hard until you get it tuned. Your fuel and timing maps are most likely in need of help.
