Stock Evo boost level/setting
I was just wondering as to what is the exact boost level on a stock EVO 8. I'm upgrading to a Hallman Pro RX MBC and I just needed to find out.

So I'm looking at 19 psi. Is it safe to say to increase the boost level to 20 psi or slightly more? I will try to do the install myself. Does anyone think that its safe?

So with just an MBC you're talking about picking up 20-30hp on the top end? Wow. Pretty nice value for the money. Is partial throttle/full boost (PTFB) a problem on these cars?

how does the mbc work as far as changes in the weather?
i know for myself, i've had to turn my boost back a few times when its REALLY cold out- i'll start hitting 23-24.
do you have to get out and turn down ur mbc? or just not full boost when its too cold!?
i have the greddy profec b spec. so its nice and easy to turn a dial

Mine was set to 20.5 PSI back in July...driving home yesterday in the cool air, I punched it on the highway and it spiked to about 22-23 PSI for a split second, then settled in around 21 PSI...works for me...

At part throttle It will hit 20psi no problem, I'm also curious about the MBC and part throttle boost, most MBC wreck the driviablity for that reason, part throttle boost is too high. On the other hand, not sure this motor cares..
I am using the factory gauge and I calibrated it myself, it was only .2 psi off. The stock gauge goes to 1.5 bar, its funny to see it spike up over that to about 1.6 bar. This car is bone stock.... I thought it pulled harder than the 05' test drive car
