Problems w/ RIU stage 1
Guys have some bad news to report to you. The stage 1 was installed in my car yesterday proffesionally and there are 2 main problems not reading above 12 pounds of boost, and i only dynoed 3 more hp than before b/c the program which was supposed to maintain a correct a/f ratio did not do its job i read a 14.3 when my engine started to experience knock. Anyone have solutions I called them today and they have not called me back yet.
The electronic gauge will not read above 12 psi becuase the RIU kit prevents the computer from seeing anymore boost than that. You will need to change to a mechanical gauge if you want to see all the boost. Did you have the shop recheck the wiring, if it wasn't wired up correctly than it wouldn't be able to control the afr properly.

The stock guage will read past 12 lbs. if you havent seen the videos+ I have seen it first hand, in my car
The PCM drops the boost back down to 12ish around 6K, but other than that it should build boost up to around what.. 16-17lbs with the RIU Stage 1?
