I was kidding!

 

I can just imagine someone seeing this and pulling over on a trip in the mountains or something..adjusting the boost so it reads 6psi or 10psi again. Then returning home and wondering why they blew something.

 

Hey wait, I thought
but

 

I got a question. Why is every gage that I see rated up to 30 psi . It seems that 12psi is on the high end and they go up to 30. Just makes my boost pressure seem minimal

 

8psi is low boost.
Consider this, the stock MazdaSpeed 3 is hitting it's 250 or so hp at (I beleive) 15psi!

 

Yes 8psi is reasonably low, but for all practical purposes running 15psi in a stock Tc motor is asking for trouble. I just did not know if there was a reason for upsizing a gauge. I know in welding applications it is recomended that you go 200% on the gauge to what you expect to be working with .

 

i love lamp

 

^ lol what's that all about?

 

^^^ NEEEEERRRRRRRDDDDSS!!!! I love that movie

 

Typos are the death of me........for sure. I am t3h suxorz at stupid lil typos.

The last point is exactly what I was trying to convey Tony, but keeping it VERY simple under the K.I.S.S. laws, however I did not want to breach dyno figures into the equation because that spins off a whole different ball of wax and even more heated debate.

 

maybe but whats the debate with physics?

thats like arguing with gravity, you can't do it.

 

Well, ultimately, physics is just a collection of rules we've noticed to be true. It doesn't mean they are, but we have yet to find an example to disprove them. For example, Netwonian physics and Quantum physics often disagree about how objects move (usually due to the sizes of the objects in question), but both are accepted schools of physics.

 

right but we're not talking about quantum mechanics or such we're talking about pressure. which is accepted..... there isn't much debate over pressure....

 

look at u smart guy. ooh, gotta go something shiny on the wall
