Re: Factory PSI

13.8 psi is what it's set to in factory chip, but it overshoots to about 15 psi.

Re: Factory PSI

I think that's the first time I've ever seen 13.8 psi. I always thought it was 14.7.

I have said it a bunch of times as have others, most just give the peak (or they don't realize the peak is not what the ECM is trying to control it to). Their is often a confusion about the conversion to psi as well. 1 BAR is 14.5psi, 1 ATM is 14.7psi.

If the stock wastegate ecm parameters was optomized and/or had better wastegate control, we should only see 13.8psi, instead of the boost is all over the place like a roller coaster going from high 12's to 15 psi at WOT. Even though in reality the peak boost up around and sometime over 15psi, it usually averages out to somewhere around 13.8psi, because the of the dips.
