okay i just got my car running right with the vafc today. i have a 99ex w/t-25 set at 8psi (only see about 6 or 7), btm, 450's, vafc,probe bov, and smic. what is a safe daily driver boost? would it be cool to run 10psi?
another question. usually don't see high boost until around 4k rpm, what can i do to make it sooner? less restrictive/leaky exhaust?
please help i'm jonesen for at least a safe 10psi.

If i remember right the more psi you produce the hotter the compressed gets and the hotter the air so no it wouldn't be cool if you ran more boost, what are you thinking??? ;) I'd just do commen check downs, check for leaks, i'd check that bov too, more exhaust=faster spin. I'd stick with the 6-7 psi but thats just me you could go more if your good with tuning and don't denonat.
