upping boost?

marriedman · 02-21-2004, 11:29 AM

I have a TXS manual boost controller that is set at 2 1/2 turns but I have the stock ECU still in place. Am I running the risk of damaging something? How much boost am I running? Will it make a difference even w/o the UTEC installed?

Thanks

You're not going to know how much boost you are running unless you have a boost gauge. I believe the txs mbc come set at 14 psi from the factory but don't quote me on that one.

I realy dont think it would be wise to play with boost with out a gauge...
