I am using Autometer guages and calibrated to less than 1/2 of 1% error.
Last time thru the 1/4 it was 11.78 and 121 by the stats but was too busy to
look at the dial! That was with the old turbo and now run a Mitsubishi 16 G
for quicker spooling and an intercooler for more charge density and a Greddy
valve to keep the wheel spooled up during shifts and a racing style
turbonetics waste gate to keep control of the exhaust.
Next move os to increase fuel pressure and injector size and volume and as
long as the EGT tells me good then raise the boost to 15-25 lbs.
