Dr.Boost

I've used both with boost. The Walbro was noisy. Other than that it's just piece of mind. If I were building a nice motor with forged internals I'd upgrade, but if I'm planning on shooting a rod out of the side of my stock D block I'll just use the stock pump because it's cheaper. :P

i'm running a walbro 255 just for peace of mind but from what i've heard i didn't need to upgrade the fuel pump. oem honda fuel pumps last a long time.

The 15psi was accidental, i only did it for a few seconds a few times until i got an intake and exhaust on it backing it to 8psi.

intake and exhaust don't adjust your boost level :scratches head:

maybe u just meant to say after u put those on u turned it down.. not it went down because of those

Run your turbo without an intake or exhaust connected, it will boost more.

My results:

Open turbo - 15psi
Cut up loose weave fabric until buying air cleaner -12psi
Air cleaner - 10psi
Air cleaner and exhaust - 8psi

do you have an internal wastegate? I guess it would make some sort of sense if you might peak more with less restriction...considering I know people with Interal gates taht when its cold they spike/peak higher boost levels...however...I havent seen my External leave the realm of 8psi on my 7.5psi spring. If its internaly gated...I guess I can see that being a possibility
