I have heard that on my stock 06 sc, you can switch some tubing around from the wastegate to get more boost. if its true what engine problems should i expect if any?

 

Alot of people will tell you use the search button. Just remember that. But I see your new so I will get you the link.

Also, more boost doesnt mean more power all the time.

 

Yeah in the how to section man.. Its called the Boost Bypass Mod

 

Do not do the boost bypass mod ....

 

i appreciate it man..

any one ever done it?

 

yea, it's silly.

basically, you want to run the least possible amount of boost to hit a certain hp goal. Suppose you want to hit 300hp. One car does it on 21 psi, and the other car does it at 16psi. (just making up #'s here) The car that does it at 16psi is running much more efficiently. Less boost, same hp, more reliable car.

Ricer math says more boost = more power. not always the case.

 

Buy upgraded injectors and a smaller pulley with a tune. Its the only way to get more boost.

 

^This

 

read the post directly above yours .... more boost does not = more power all the time

 

boost bypass mod should only ever been used as a troubleshooting tool to determine whether your bypass actuator is working or not.

 

agreed !!!

 

yup! helped me figured out that my belt wasn't slipping.
