The people putting smaller pulleys on , are you modifying the factory bypass valve ? From all Ive heard so far with these cars , a pulley alone will not net any gain at all unless that issue is addressed . The bypass ( not blowoff ) valve will cap the psi to 13 , by venting the extra air . So a smaller pulley with no mods to the bypass would still net stock boost levels regarless of the what the company you purchased the pulley from....mine has went as high as 13 stock in GOOD air ...on the guage .

The bypass is why your guage is not going over 12.5 or 13 . Yaint making the extra boost

IF you have modded the bypass , please dont give me smarta$$ attitude in your response as no one has mentioned a thing about that yet

I have made 18 psi with an unmodified bypass.
