Cold weather boost

What are you guys seeing in the cold weather? Mine is supposed to be 6 psi, but I'm seeing 12 psi. Maybe that's part of the traction problem?



I'm at work now. I'll upload a better video when I get home.

I'd expect a couple of lbs at most, but double.... nahhh ???? I suspect your boost gauge sensor is fucked .

I think DSC may have been kicking in. I did a 3rd gear pull and hit 7 psi at about 5k rpm, and held it to redline.

A shaky video for anyone interested. I'm still very impressed with the midrange on this kit.

7 psi from 5krpm to redline.
