Default TN guys w/ the WG relocation...how much PSI???

this question is to all the guys with the turbonetics kit. If you have installed the wategate relocation pipes, what is the highest psi you are seeing?

1) Quadcam 9.5 PSI (stock block revup engine)

I was seeing aroung 10.5 until recently. I got a replacement turbo due to blown seal. So far at least I have not seen over 8.5. Not sure what to make of that.

Have everyone list all mods on the car and I bet no one who has posted yet has the same setup.

It's all based on the exhaust. The better your exhaust flows the more you will overboost.

Well that should be fixed with the wastegate relocation pipe. If people are still experiencing this after the relocation is installed, it's most likely another issue.

I'm personally not runnning the wastegate pipe, but I see about 8.5 psi when dialed in for 8psi on my ebc, and 9.5psi when I'm dialed in at 9psi. I only get this if I run in 4th gear and up.

I'm going to be installing the wastegate pipe soon which should fix everything.

That would be true if you didn't have the overboost pipes installed. But Turbonetics installed the overboost pipes on their G35 with the Topspeed Pro-1 that you have and did not go over 8.5 PSI. RedHotZ installed it on his Z with an RSR exhaust and no more overboost there either.

does anyone know how the reflash handles the overboost. Im worried that the reflash only adresses timing and boost up to a certain point like maybe 9 psi.

The flash has handled as much as 11 PSI in the past... Turbonetics doesn't recommend over 9.5 PSI though.
