15psi would be about the most on a stage 1 set up!

bit of a waste of a t34 to use on stage1 IMO

as above, u can maybe get a peak of about 20psi at 3.5K then back off to 14 psi at the top - assuming that the chip will fuel it like that, my setup does, but the l8 ecu on a saph doesnt do closed loop boost control,,, so 14-15 psi held will have to do..

it was a stage 3 but the guy took off greens chip intercooler sold it seperate and just left the turboand i bought it like that. so i should leave the boost till i get a stage 3 chip and greens? i have a l6 ecu from 2wd in it.
