Default stage 3 boost ?

I was wondering how much boost i should be running at stage 3?
I have an rs500 intercooler and a t35 .63. when i had it set up it was just after the engine was rebuilt so they said I could turn it up after I had done 3000 miles but never did.
What should it be ?its at 19psi at the moment

Think most stage 3 setups run 21-22psi, so you're not far off now. What injectors have you got? they'll be the limiting factor.

We're running 25 peak, 22 held on our 2wd with a T34, greens and a 4x4 intercooler. Assuming your injectors are up to the job (and the fuel pump and rewired), you should be able to put a little more boost through seeing that you have an RS500 intercooler.

I asked Mark (MAD) to set it up on the safe side, was done in July on a hot day and we were getting early signs of det with a touch more boost than that so he wound the boost down, and a little more

Make sure you get someone in the know to set it up for you as you want it

Don't tamper, get it on the rollers for a setup, just to be safe.
