just don't go over 21 psi. if you don't have a gauge get one. and i would also recommend high octane fuel if you want to go over that 21-23 psi range at the track untuned. would be safer...cuz i did it.

Your sig will lead to your car's destruction, but then I guess you don't care, since you live at home and are in High School...not like you have to worry about the financial repurcussions anyway.

this is the best thread to ask this silly question i wanna ask !

i installed my Halman RX MBC with DEFI link boost cauge with control unit, i am Boosting 1.4 Bar at the moment and whenever i am at boost my Defi boost cauge keeps making this noise and a red light ! .. dunno whatever it is ..
when the tuner installed it, he turned the boost all the way down, and i was boosting 0.8 Bar ! .. and it didnt make that noise .

The noise/light are you Boost gauge exceeding it's dialed in limit. You need to set your boost limit higher. LOL does that make sense?

if it says it needs to raise more boost, than why when i was boosting 0.8 bar didnt make the sound/light at all?

the light/sound is for the limit that you set the gauges at via the defi link controlller, just set it higher at like 1.5 or whatever bar, and you'll be set...

Right, What I was saying. It's a WARNING LIMIT. Just telling you that your boosting over the limit that you programed. Just set the warning limit to tell you where you want it and it warns you if you go over. conprende?

push the "warn" button on the controll unit then push the button that points to the right and set it just above like 2 clicks above what ever you are supposed to boost at, this way the warning like will only come on when your boosting about 1lb (not sure the bar conversion) over what you should.

Good job - we made this thread somewhat useful, although your problem was easy enough for a monkey to figure out.
