What You Seeing For Boost on a 2.6"
Just wondering what you guys are seeing for boost on a 2.6" pulley. I'm at 2185 feet above sealevel and I'm only seeing about 16psi max.

So I wonder, does that mean my car will perform worse than a car with a 2.9" at a lower altitude?

I did all the tuning, there's nothing in my tune limiting my boost except for 1st gear. Intense_SS, you'll have a PM in a few minutes, the GF just took the downpipe to the post office.

i would think is sounds about right since the air would be considered thinner due to higher altitude.... but to be honest I am not sure.....

16 sounds about right for a 2.6 in your altitude, I am at 19lbs with my 2.5

Exhaust sounds much better with the cat in there but it's still awful raspy though.
