on a road car a peak of 30 psi for reliability IMO
would expect it to hold about 26 as the revs rise

i had a t45.55 with 55lbs blacks

make sure you've set base idle first

co% is between 2.5-2.7
i ran 2 bar (32psi) peak

co% must be set when engine is hot & nothing electrical running (stereo, cooling fans etc)

this is assuming your running no lambda

yes correct not running lamda,but me being stupid never turned the paper over to read writing on the back which tells me what boost/co settings will be.says 32psi peak hold 26psi.
