Too much boost = not big enough turbine, shotty gate placement, too small of gate, boost controller installed incorrectly or junk.

Too little = boost leak, too big of turbine

Too little boost=Time to upgrade and crank it up.

Not to get too far OT but my old boost gauge went out after some time and I didn't notice until I punched it and the arm did a 300* circle around it. I nearly crapped my pants.

When I let off it went to what it thought was zero which was now 25psi lol.

What was the topic? Hard to get off topic with no topic. How much boost are you running? I have no idea what my new setup will do. Maybe 20, but who knows.

Are you saying she lives her life 8 seconds at a time?

or that as long as she feels the power between her legs for 8 seconds she is satisfied?
