How Much Boost

[MrMagoo]

Well folks, I am running an r33 gtst with full exhaust system, front mount, induction filter.

My question is, on full boost my standard boost gauge goes to just below the 7 at the top of the gauge? Just about 2mm off the 7?

Is this ok and safe?

Not one for planting the loud pedal much but wanna know its safe to do so!

Cheers

If you are still running standard boost then it is fine. 7 psi is standard for an r33 for but with an exhaust and front mount it's likely to creep up to 8 or 9 which is still very safe. Get yourself an aftermarket boost gauge if you really want to know what it's running at.

The above is incorrect.

the gauge is in mmHg. 7 is around the 14psi mark, this is not safe for the turbo, and will no doubt be hurting power by sending the ECU into 'R&R' mode.

Please use the search for further info, this is quite a common topic. Also ensure you read the FI Guide sticky thread, it contains great links for those starting out.

Thanks.
