How much boost do you run just around town?
#46
just leave it stock boost. Its made to run that way from the factory. Besides if you put intake, exhaust on ur car and its a little cool outside u will spike a bit any ways to make up for it being over rich from the factory.

I put it away for the winter cause snow is way bad here and i dont trust other people but i will defintily turn it back up when i pull it out.... It is like getting a brand new evo every spring if you know what i mean! Except the winter part is so slow cause you cant wait to pull it out cause that is when i buy all my mods and put them while it sits in the garage. I hate waiting to take it out and see what it can do, Even if i did pull it out i cant go anywhere.... to much DAMN snow!

That is basically why i turned it down... when it was getting like 25 degree's here i notice i went from 21-22 peak to 25 peak... so i turned it down a couple and then it got closer to the 10 degrees and it jumped right back up so i turned it down alot and got it to around 15 MAX! and it still gets up and goes just fine but it is not like whiplash quick!

Right on target... This is the correct answer... Your tuner will decide what is safe for your car based on how you drive, where you drive, fuel and modifications.
If your tuner doesn't ask how the cars driven then he's not doing his job. Knowing the driver is just as important as knowing the car.
Cheers!

The ECU is smart enough to know that there is not 21 lbs in the intake becuase it has a mas air flow sensor it made so that it puts the right a/f ratio inside the engine. when someone tunes it you change air/fuel so at that rpm it has that mixture so depending on how much air there is the mass air flow tells it how much fuel to put in and it accomidates for that besides i dont hardly ever get on it anyways and my a/r ratio's are the same as they are when i am at 21 lbs. I am a newbie and any expert should know that!
