    Question

    I was thinking (dangerous, I know) but wouldn't it be more meaningful to relay your boost pressure in direct proportion to your hp or track time.

    I know most people seem to post that they're running a 6psi "pulley" @ such & such qrt mile time or hp & tq numbers, rather than 7.5psi at 190hp or whatever it is the boost guage is showing.

    Well, that is for all those running boost guages.

    For instance @ "boost pressure" 5psi = 168.7HP & 118.3TQ on my b16a.

    I've since gone to a smaller pulley and few other changes, but have no comparing numbers yet for track or dyno.

    Talking

    ...well, I should clarify my boost guage doesn't give out HP numbers (wouldn't that be nice!) but anyway, I think ya'll can figure what I meant.

    Actually, I think it might be even clearer just to state what engine you're running and how much HP/TQ / pounds of boost you're making and engine size.

    For instance, my previous numbers

    B16a2:

    33.4hp / lb of boost or 104.4375 HP / litre

    Oh well, can't change the world, just thinking...

    I posted something exactly like that a couple of months ago when I was still prototyping my setup.
