where have you been? PT turbos dont even hit 12psi its just a spike to 12 and they tend to hold around 7-8psi. "What ever boost it takes to keep a flat torque band" is what DCX engine wizards say....

 

no mr i beleive DCX blindly like Maurice the computer dictates what boost level to achieve the "factory" HP/TQ curves which can vary depending on variables such as weather and what not. Basically the way DCX is ensuring every 2.4 Turbo car performs to its max no matter where it is at geographically is by letting the computer do the thinking as to how much boost when and to vary things according to the variables it reads...undertand? so 7-8psi is what this PT Turbo is seeing in cold weather up in Wisconsin not saying that an FL car should and is in the double digit boost but keep in mind the variables.....

 

I wouldn't go so far as too say blindy. Just for comparison sakes it takes many tests before a theory becomes a law. Maybe under this one instance at near stock boost level the theory is true that a grainger works, but may not be true for all cases. Do you understand what I am getting at. It takes more than one case to prove any theory, and until the theory is proved to be reasonably true in all cases, is when I will accept it as the full truth.

What you are telling me is someone bled the boost 1psi over the max computer controlled boost setting. Its very viable that the computer allows this to pass as a margin of error.

So at the moment I believe DCX, for they designed the car, they know what its capable of. You have to realize I am not saying they are always correct, that would be blind faith, but what I am saying is currently they have the most knowledge of this engine and design. Consequently their statements hold more water for the time being.
