Have you actually upgraded your fuel pump/lines/injection system?

No of course not. Didn't you know the g62 is a bullet proof engine that can withstand 40psi for an amount of time without any supporting mods? :P

Surely the tc05s blades would be thinkin bout packing up their housing and melting up at around 25psi anyway.

If you want more boost,cut a wire in your starion engine wiring loom,that controls boost signals by a switch and there you go.

Some very interesting numbers...

I was trying to decide which boost gauge to get (mounting in place of the factory gauge.)

I just ordered the 30psi version (hoping to run 20+ psi at some stage)

13 psi will do till i sort out the ECU, keeps me from granading the motor anyway.
