manual boost control

[ghost rider]

The boost meter is only passively Reading the pressure Level going into the motor measured at the intake boots.
That's all it does.
There's no relation between the boost meter and the Manual boost Controller.

So who do you know how much boost you have once you turn up the turbo smart…..is it a direct measurement based on clicks of the knob?
Question 2 what size is the hose you need to connect it?

Turn in up a bit, run it, watch the boost meter, until desired boost Level has been achieved

By lenghtening the wastegate rod.
Loosen the stop nut, unhook the WG-arm from the WG-flabber, unscrew the end of the WG arm a couple of turns (1 lbs Down about every 3 turns depending on turbo system).

I recommend setting the WG arm and boost a few lbs below the safe Level for the lowest octane fuel you burn. Use the boost Controller to set boost according to the fuel you run.

On a stock rx what boost is the max (safely) for running the lake in 100 foot runs
With 96 octane.?

Stock compression?
96 Octane US measure?
Not much at all, 8-9 according my Boost calc spreadsheet, exactly how much Depends on altitude and outside temperature as well.

good to know thanks….i was around 9-10 so i think i'll play it safe an turn it down to 7-8.
guess i need ahead shim…...

I assumed altitude of 0 aka Ocean sea Level. The higher the safer you get.
What is Your elevation?

Not very high altitude but not 0 elevation, you're probably OK With Your setup.

good to know…thanks rxrider, i really got hooked on the boost at 9-10lbs compared to 7…….i can't begin to imagine yours at 17-20+ wooha.
