good advice man. That what I thought I never hit fuel cut nor did my check engine light ever came on for overboosting.

 

yea no problem

the check engine light will only come on if there is a major problem overboosting or fuel cut wont set it off and if it does the car will go in safe mode so dont worry about it

 

Wow so much bad info , I hope you 24+psi'er NEVER get any bad gas .
I feel sorry for your evo's

 

I am also not a fan of tuning my car to the ragged edge..

Keep it safe, for the sake of your car. I'd rather sacrafice a few HP than start destroying stuff!

 

The funny thing is that the "24psi+93 octane" car's prob are making less HP/TQ due to the car KNOCKING and the ecu pulling timming
But is sooooooo cool to say "OH your only runnig 22 psi , well Iam running 24psi "--The one upper

 

^^^
I'm with you...

these guys should get a windshield banner that says "tuned by ?"

 

Frenchy, send me a PM so we can discuss this. You have the worst MBC for the Evo, you are running too much boost, and you're about to make a mistake with the SAFC. Please consult with me before making your next purchase, even if it's an air filter. This, of course, is only if you care about treating your car properly, going fast, and saving money.

Let me know...

 

I sent you a PM thanks!

 

You know I have a question though. I just got a boost gauge and my car is bone stock, it has 3k on it right now. I don't plan on touching it past a catback and a drop in K&N filter, but my boost spikes to 24 psi all the time. Now if my car is running 24 psi from the factory why in the hell would I need to put a boost controller on it to control the boost. I'm trying to keep my warranty and a boost controller is a no-no for me.

 

The gauge is likely wrong then, because there's no way you are going around boosting 24psi all the time without an exhaust to release the backpressure. Maybe you briefly hit an artificial spike to 24psi in 5th gear? Your stock boost is 20psi, which is regulated by the stock BCS. It also tapers way down to 16psi right away. The MBC allows you to raise the peak boost while also removing a significant amount of the taper. You've already said an MBC is a no-no for you, so it doesn't matter anyway.

 

Some of the advice I read makes my stomach turn sometimes. 12.5a/f is not safe for pumpgas and 20+psi. If you think so, run it and join the ranks of the guys pushing a rod out the side of their block from a spun bearing.

 

+1 12.5a/f is insane. 11.5 is more like borderline for pump. I personally like to stick closer to 11.2-11.4.

 

Well when I mash the gas in 2nd it briefly spikes to 22-24psi and settles to a nice 17-18psi till redline.
