Obviously the elevation and climate makes a difference. As for a re-flash. It doesnt adjust the stock wastegate. Wastegates are mechanical not electrical.
Thanks for answering my question.

I see what your getting at. But the "wastegate" is mechanical. It runs off vaccum/boost. What you should have stated was a question about the Boost Solenoid. In the case of an aftermarket boost controller the solenoid does not have a vaccum line to it anymore.

True, I should have not phrased it as "adjust the wastegate" to run at 23psi...but rather more specific.

All the EBC's I've used do have vacuum lines.
I've used/currently using a blitz SBC ID v3 on my other car
I've installed a greddy Profec.

All of them are plumbed with vacuum lines.

The blue box to the left of the turbo is my Blitz boost control solenoid.
There is an in and out.

You stated that aftermarket boost controller solenoids do not have vacuum lines going to it.

I showed you a picture of my aftermarket boost controller solenoid with vacuum lines on it.

It has nothing to do with the turbo.

Not sure what problems you have with me. I don't think I've said or implied anything that would **** you off.

You mis-understood me. When you install a aftermarket Boost controller like a HALLMAN... OR any boost controller for that fact you will NOT use the factory boost solenoid anymore. Thats what i was getting to. And how this makes sense... You asked why the boost tapered and pretty much how the re-flash effected the boost.

If you install an aftermarket boost controller, isn't it obvious you're not going to be using the stock one?

Anyway. My apologies.
God I should go to bed. Sorry all for fuxorin the thread.

Its nothing to said toward me directly... each time i refresh the page i see that you have posted in a new thread every time. And when you clearly state that you are trying to weed out the VIII stuff from the IX i see you post about nothing really.. It just seemed to me that you were just making posts in a lot of threads. And all your posts were quick comments and nothing really pertaining to the topic of the thread.

^interesting convo up top.

but to answer the question on 93 set it to 23. on 91 octane (what i get here) set it to 21 to be safe.

just installed my boost guage on my bone stock IX, and tonight at pretty cool temperature i was spiking at 21-22 psi and tapering to about 16-18psi FWIW. guess i didnt get one of the "weak IX's"

Thanks. I guess one of the first things I'm gonna do is hook u an EBC or a boost gauge to see what's up.

I'll keep this boost discussion out of the general thread. Back into the newbie forums for me.
