24 pounds of boost.
So after 2 years of driving my car I just noticed today that in 4th gear I can hit 24lbs. Is this something I should worry about on pump gas? Every other gear seems to be about 21lbs. Motor has manly rods, and can’t remember my pistons off the top of my head.

previous owner probably. Was trying to avoid that for now. But after today things seemed a little scary.

A solid, clean tune is the answer, especially w/your freshly built motor. Dont chance an expensive mistake

I was hoping to get cams first. But haven’t wanted to spend the money right now. But I guess I might have to.

It depends what setup you have but providing that timing isn't too high and your afr isn't too lean you should be fine on 24psi on 92 octane. I personally run 27psi peak on my stock turbo setup on 92 octane. Get a tactrix cable and learn how to use evoscan, only way to tell if its fine or not.

Start reading in the tuning section of this forum. Most of your questions have probably already been answered. The more you understand about your car the better off you are, even if you never touch the tune yourself.

ecu flash / evoscan is a program used to flash the stock ECU. It's how you can manipulate the stock tune on the car.

Tactrix open port 2.0: https://www.tactrix.com/index.php?op...ed=1&Itemid=53

Back when I purchased mine, evoscan was included as part of the tactrix cable purchase. I don't know if that changed, if it did you can buy it from the same website and it should be around $26 or so. If i were you I would also add the Mitsubishi flash adapter so that you can read and write your ecu.

let me clarify my comment...

I didnt mean ... if you dont hear the motor knocking, let it rip.

I meant, if you dont see any signs of knock in the logs, then let it rip.

Need to be logging to see really if the motor is safe or not.
