anyone have a catted 3" DP i can barrow?

Post by spazegun2213 »

Hey all,
so I'm overboosting on the track to the point i hit fuel cut. So I'm trying to figure out what will help it. I can just turn down the boost, but then whats the point if I'm running less boost? So I'm trying to think of things i can do to fix the problem, and a catted DP might help.

anyone have one i can barrow?

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

If you go into 3rd and hold down the gas, what boost are you running? I'm running 17.5

I can't remember what stock STi boost is...b/c that is what I am running (stock STi map) until I get my clutch replaced w/ the exedy stage 1.

I used to be 18PSI at 3K tapering to 14PSI at redline (think it is set to 7.5K) :cry:
