What BOOST PSI should you see when u mash on it?

When u mash on pedal (unloaded) what boost psi should you see? The most i can see on my 2004.5 with edge juice on level 1 is 25 psi or so. Even on level 3 it dont get any higher. is this normal?

I get around 15-20. But it really blasts after the T/Q locks up. Thats when She'll hit 30+.

04.5 has the electronic wastegate, you will need a boost fooler to see higher than 25 or so. with the fooler i saw 45 on my stock turbo

I wasn't completely for sure, that's why I asked. At least you were trying to help.

That's what I was thinking. With mine on any level I hit over 40 easily every day.

how long do u mash on it till it hits 35-40? I only mash it for like 5-10 seconds and the boost only gets to like 27 psi (on the attitude monitor) and then backs down to 23-24 ish, until i let off. then it goes down to like 10.

About a second or two (at the most) the boost is over 40. Doesn't take long at all. That's why I think something is wrong with your turbo.

I had the same problem with my 2005 and it was the Edge Juice with Attitude was bad. I called Edge and they had me send the unit in and three days later I had a new unit and I now I can hit 40+ all day.
