Any thoughts? Car is completely factory stock.

 

Hi PhantomTA, I know you from the f-body sites

As far as your PSI, how many miles do you have on it? If you just got it, you may not hit full boost for a few hundred miles. Just redline it in 3rd, you’ll hit 12

 

Almost 6k. 10.5 psi at the top of 3rd. Gets there at like 3500ish and stays there.

 

Mine hit 12 psi @ 6,4xx RPM on the dyno. 4,000 miles

 

i had 10k miles on my car and didnt see the full 12 psi until i gutted my airbox. im not sure if thats what did it, but that would be one heck of a coincidence, because now i see all 12psi when flooring it in 2nd.

 

i just rolled over 1400 and i hit 12 every time why do these cars all act differently some not till they get a few miles sum all the time?

 

Almost 6k. 10.5 psi at the top of 3rd. Gets there at like 3500ish and stays there.

 

I got 12psi from the get go with mine.

 

Must be your elevation. I know you guys are from the same state but just being uphill can make a difference. I would take it back, tell them you want a new one. Your entitled to the same car everyone else has.

 

I think im about 700ft above sea level if i remember correctly

 

Mine didn't hit 12psi until I had over 4000 miles on it.
???????????

 

i dunno...mine only gets to about 60kpa's when i floor it at lower rev's but then when I get over like 5500rpm or so it will increase to about 89kpa's.



lol "used to could"

 

Some of this can be blamed on the cheap autometer gauge.

 

PhantomTA..........You still have the bird for sale?

Mine didn't show full PSi either til I got around 3500 miles, I put 4000 miles on it in 2 1/2 weeks. Geez. Just keep an eye on it. If it doesn't change, take it to the dealer?

What color Cobalt you have?

 

I'm at around 800ft asl and only get 11psi at most , i have 3700 miles and a k&n drop in . I'm wondering if the guage isnt showing full boost , or if the bypass butterfly isnt adjusted right . Might take it back to the dealer and see whats up , at 800ft asl this thing shouldnt be effected by elevation

 

I didn't really see above 10 psi until after about 3000 miles. Of course I took it real easy on the car till I got about 3000 miles on it, too. Now with stage 2 I see 12.5 at WOT somewhere around 3500 RPM, then somewhere after about 5000 RPM it climbs and hits max 15 somewhere above 6000 RPM. Since I'm driving I dont' really have time to look at the guage and the tach at the same time, so I have to guess as to what the RPMs are at. Once of these days I'll get someone to Video it while I'm driving so I can see it all for myself.

You also have to remember that the stock boost guage isn't really 100% accurate, so don't put a lot of trust into what it says.

 

My car won't boost above 60 kpa, which is...just under 9 psi?
Then again, I only have 1k KM's on it... She better climb!!!

 

Yep... Hoepfully will be gone soon tho.

Sunburst Orange...

 

I'm at 4500' ASL here in Utah and I only see 10 PSI, I hope that changes with the stage II kit.

 

Traitor... LOL

Good luck on the sale Dave, let me know when you get all your stuff so we can tune the cobalt.

 

Bah... It may not be a c6 but itl work

 

my car also only hits 10 psi and just recently hit 10.5. I just put the k&n filter in it and its still the same. It only has 1500 miles on it so hopefully it will go up or im gonna get pissed.

 

It uasually only goes up to 12 psi at a really high rpm. Drop from 3rd gear 3500rpm to 2nd and gun it and it should go to 12 or maybe even 12.5

 

baaa!

way to Bash him ENUFPWR!...wont even help the guy out eh!!!

 

Why you want to get rid of it so bad? Has a good motor and such right?
