with no exhaust mods around 17psi because you have a lot of restriction! I hit about 17 with a 2.8 but a complete exhaust!

it also depends on your intake and exhaust mods.

I'm at 2000 above.... using a 2.85" pulley with intake, meth, full exhaust I was getting 16.75 psi!

It depends on your other mods, no exhaust and intake is going to net higher boost but less power!

I called the dealer up to see if they could put my 2.9 on cause I cant get the stage 2 pulley loose and they told me that the 2.9 will burn holes in my piston? Is that just BS or does it really? Plus they told me it will take acouple hours at $90/hr. I dont know what to do?

on average, with every .1 inch you go down in pulley size, you gain about 1psi. There are lots of variables, but that is just the rule of thumb.

First thats BS it takes 10 minutes to change a pulley and how the hell would it burn a hole in your pistons? It's has nothing to do with your pistons except the air it's pushing so........ Stealershiop FTL.

With a 2.9 I saw 17 but when I swapped my boost gauge for my interceptor it says I get 15 so I've heard before the stock boost gauge is off so I tend to belive it.
Oh and I'm in Florida at 400ft above sea level.
