hey dude. you never answered in another thread how you got up to 13PSI while you're running almost everything stock. Unless there is something missing from your sig.
edit: Ok maybe that wasn't you. But I'm still curious
:: or maybe it was deleted. hmm

I put and oversized intercooler from an international bus in the front and repiped the intercooler tubing. Next, I will shim the head to lower compression so I can up the boost to 19 LBS, but will need to fix the fuel regulator and up the injectors. With stock intercooler I could run 12LBS without going into a lean condition as long as it was warm outside. If it was cold I would go into shutoff from the computer. I have built three valves to switch boost levels between 6, 9, 12 LBS with an old dipstick that is conected to my shifter. I run 9 lbs in first gear on the start and switch to 12 lbs when I shift into second. Running around town I run a 6 lbs. I used the silonides from an old mazda RX-7 and grainger valves from the team omni web site to set the boost levels. It is basically the same as a boost controller just about three hundred dollars cheaper. There is nothing like the feeling that you get from being in the left lane and know you need to be in the right lane to enter Jack in the Box, and knowing that you will have no problem swuping everyone at the light to make it happen

That is what this site is all about. Many Pep boy technicians that know too much. We also have a 11 second Dodge Omni turbo. We also have a 12.5 second Mazda MX-6 GT. Im sure we have no idea what we are doing. . Thanks for your support.

For 19psi, I'd recommend a T-28, external wastegate, forged internals, transmission work, fuel sys upgrade, and a stand alone. Sounds expensive but, a LOT of fun.

Don't let this happen to you!
