Question

When I put my foot down the boost peaks at 15psi then drops to 13-14, as I keep on accelerating the boost trails off to around the 10 mark. Is this wright? The car is a Uk My00

That's exactly what mine does (MY00) but what is the easiest (cheapest) way of getting it to hold 15psi ?

take the boost gauge apart and stick the needle at 15psi!

Thanks sunilp, it works !

As a token of my gratitude, I'm sending you some nice go-faster stripes for your car. When I tried them, it made at least 10mph difference

Only 10mph? You're obviously not using the illuminous green ones then. They're worth 20 mph at least. Have you not seen all the super fast xr2's and novas with them on?
