NewB question from not so NewB
Ok, so first off yeah, I realize I have more than 500 posts, and second, I tried searching, the damn search tool sucks major in finding EXACTLY what you want... anyway, this could or could not be a really stupid question... but:
How much hp is gained per pound of boost? Or rather, from 15psi = what hp? to ~18psi = what hp? to 20-21 = what hp? Any way anyone can answer this question, I'd really like to know... a good way to phrase the why I'm asking is: "what's the point of setting a mbc from 18 up to 20, assuming there already is an MBC set to 18 on the car"

UT, I will give it my best shot. If I can remember, there was a post about this, not sure how long ago, but it has been a few months. If my memory serves me good, 1lb. of boost is equal to roughly 5-7 horsepower, if I remember correctly. Don't have a mbc yet, but I think a mbc holds boost a little better w/o tapering as much, but not sure. Hope this helps you out.

That works out perfectly, thanks, after my turboback the stock boost solenoid is running the car at 15psi, so I didn't gain ANY power, and I should be up ~20 hp... so that all makes sense, thanks much

How can you not understand the question of how much power more boost gives? A ton of people have gone from stock to higher... I figured people would know
