Default boost level

I drove my car today properly for the first time after an extensive rebuild over winter. I will attach photos soon. Anyway the car drove brilliantly but I wondered what psi boost is ok to run. The engine spec is stage III with pectel management, rs 5oo intercooler water injection etc etc.

Thanks......

depends on the chip have you rebuiult enine?

Are you asking what boost for running in??

If so just loop the actuator to the compressor housing for 500 miles then connect it all back up as per normal and run 10 for 250 the a little more then setup

Also, you need an accurate boost guage, not the "finger in the air" standard item .
