Stock boost pressure !
Discussion
M12 GTO 3R guys, when 'dropping the hammer' to the absolute maximum, lets say a full boot in 2nd or 3rd, what is the max boost pressure you''ll get on a stock setup? i.e. what is your gauge reading... I know its hard to watch it!!! but i'm interested to compare what everyone comes back with 
Still havn't met any other members of the nobility on the roads yet! It's been 3 or 4 months!
Just spent the last 15 mins laughing at the Fezza bashing on the other threads... hahaha awesome 
I live near the edgeware road in london and so get to perform alot of 're-education' of supercar owners myself... in a safe and gentlemenly manner of course!
Isnt being the underdog the most awesome place to be! haha

WARNING WILL ROBINSON!
This is exactly the symptoms I had before my engine was lunched.
It was a combination of a faulty waste gate and a faulty ECU, but the result was a new engine.
Gary (crazy horses) will be able to diagnose this as he sorted my car out after this occurred ... and I'd suggest you drive it off boost til it's check ed out.

My 3R runs about .7 in the first 4 gears but in 5th and 6th holds 1 bar from just over 3000 all the way through to 6000 rpm. I do think this is too much does any one know of this Mega map option that ive seen on other forums ?

Sounds a bit high, but to be honest I've been told by a very reliable source that the gauges aren't that accurate. Also, there's no reason I can see why the boost levels would be lower in lower gears. The ECU doesn't know what gear you're in. Steve
As for a 'mega map', there's no such thing. There aren't any safe shortcuts to more power. New exhaust (from Roush I can recommend) and new inter-cooler and BOV are the best starter items.

Thanks for the warning - I'll get it checked out asap. Light right foot in the meantime!

"Also, there's no reason I can see why the boost levels would be lower in lower gears. The ECU doesn't know what gear you're in."
cars are often loaded differently in the lower gears because the engine doesn not have to work so hard to pull you along
for example in 1st the car is not loaded as hard as it is in 5th
hope this helps

Yup, and there's spool time as well, but 3rd and 4th you'll achieve max boost.cars are often loaded differently in the lower gears because the engine doesn not have to work so hard to pull you along
