It's all about respect.

And above all ... respect the car and what it’s capable of .. cause when you don’t it can make for a bad day.

I like the sound of boost by gear.

But not sure if it would help me at all, because even on wastegate pressure of 9-10 psi I am wheel spin city.

Forget respect. I am just crazy and it takes a ton crazy to get my adrenaline rush. Why do you think boosted guys always want more.

Why’d you choose 10psi as your gate pressure, are you planning on running 20psi at some point?

Why do you think I've been back to Seb 3 times for boost upgrades.

Do this. Put someone in your car as a passenger and cut loose. Your normal will scare the crap out of them. That is what would happen to me. I was just driving normal I thought. LOL I guess I need to invest in a GoPro so I can document my car re-learning experience when I get my car back. It would be interesting and maybe some of this crying about traction will die down.

No, I just assumed I would be on a lower spring gate pressure, AAM never asked me about it when they sent the kit out and I am pretty sure they say their kits ship out with 5-7psi spring unless requested for other ones.

But I am seeing 9.9 psi in 4th gear redline on my setup

Why is this not your most immediate concern, rather than your tires? More boost than expected is not necessarily a good thing.

...your spring pressure on the wastegates should be pretty close to your boost pressure if not you need to find out why ..could be vacuum line not connected right ..or could be have came off ..got cut ....and I would verify which spring in in the waste gates.....the traction isn’t really something “wrong” that needs to be fixed ..it’s a effect of having a boosted Z ...you just need to learn to use it ...but not knowing what boost you should be running and just running whatever it gets can cause that’s what it does to me is a much higher priority

I mean... this has been reiterated to him on multiple, multiple, multiple occasions. Next, I'm guessing he or she's about to ask about adding aero.

Well, the EBC was reporting 14psi but then adter returning the car to the installer they tweaked the vaccum plumbing and it has brang the boost pressure down to 8-10psi.

And I have been told conflicting things about what the factory AAM TT spring pressure come with. Some say it is 5-7psi spring and some tell me it is 10 psi.

We can't check what spring it is now because the motor has to be dropped to get to it. And AAM are no help after they get your money, they do not reply to e-mails or amswer phone calls from me for over 6+ months. I gave up hope trying to contact them to get some info.

I created this thread to learn about other peoples setups and what they are running, not to be told that again. So why bring that up?

Stay on topic please?

Stay on topic huh ....well then if we stay on topic ....then there is no need to state anything past what the topic is ......kit ...boost ..hp..and tires ....Your topic isn’t about learning anything about the actual setup ....but good luck with your research
