1st gear trifecta boost
1st gear trifecta boost
For those of you with a trifecta tune on your lnf, what kind of boost pressure are you seeing in 1st gear. As far as I can recall I never get boost at all in first. I never requested that Vince remove it. I could be mistaking, or perhaps I just never get on it hard enough in 1st for fear of getting no traction anyways. I will have to double check later tonight when I get in the car. But in the meantime I figured I'd ask what others with trifecta are experiencing.
I know im boosting, but i havent looked precisely by how much, i remember some saying it was 12 psi in 1st gear from factory, but im not sure...
if you feel your having more torque in 1st gear than usual then it may boost higher...

if u dont tell vince to change it it stays stock 8-10 psi. u can tell him to put it to whatever u want in any gear i do believe, but if i was u id keep it where it is stock or all ull do is spin
I did confirm that I do boost pretty high in 1st if I actually floor it from a roll. I guess I've always just eased into 1st and never caused the engine to boost. On my old stock tires I would be spinning so bad I wouldnt have moved anyways. On the new tires its pretty fun, they hook up a lot better, the shift into 2nd just comes really quick.
I floored the gas in 1st from about a 2500RPM roll, and the boost immediately spiked to about 12psi, as soon as I saw that it boosted that high I came off the gas. I cant imagine it would have gotten much higher than that and I wouldnt have wanted it to anyways.
My gauge almost immediately reads 15-16 psi in first gear, (EDIT- I take that back, I get 5 psi in first gear, and 15 in all others. My mistake!) rolling at 12-1500 rpm and stab the skinny pedal. Doesn't stay there long because obviously, I've run out of 1st gear by this time. I'm at roughly 4,900 feet elevation. It doesn't spin the tires like this when going straight, but I think they want to. I rarely turn off the traction control since I try not to drive THAT hard.
I have no idea what has been done to my car (had it only a month) other than charge pipes, unknown intercooler, hks bov and the only thing I've personally done is had the muffler changed out.
