quick question.....with my modifications should I be gettin more boost than I am? I'm only gettin 26-27 psi at wot.....

 

thats about right, when i had edge intake exhaust and water meth i was hitting 25 and would spike around 30

 

Yes, you should have more boost than that if you're at the highest Juice power setting.

You should be able to exceed 30psi.

Check for boost leaks.

Did you install the boost elbow that came with the Juice?

 

I could only get 30 psi with the Juice when I first installed it. Utah has thin air for sure!

I eventually found a couple of small boost leaks and was then able to hit 32-33 on a good hill WOT.

I'd go through and tighten up all the t-clamps and spray a little soapy water around the air horn and intake manifold with the engine running and look for bubbles.

 

so im hitting 42 psi with my set up now does that sound right hohn?

 

Yes, that's about right. You don't want to run that much boost with that turbo if you can help it. Try to drop it to 35 or so.

When I had just the Edge comp, I was able to hit 35psi. That is at 3500ft elevation.

 

I'm usin the Edge boost gauge and the most i've seen on setting #2 is 18, could this be a MAP sensor issue? I've read they get diry and hinder performance and mileage. I did noy install the elbow on mine as it wouldn't go on an 02 auto truck. I'll check teh boost in the morning on setting #5 and see what I can get out of it? I usually drive on #1 as it's my DD and I'm always lookin for better MPG's but want the power for towing my junk in my avatar.
