What is the highest boost in a 55k?

How much boost are you running and do you have any limp mode issues? Apparently some people are running into limp mode issues higher than 17 PSI

I peak at 16.5 so I must be lucky that I'm running right up the problem point

Hitting up to 17.4 psi (185 crank/supercharger pulley) and hitting failsafe. Splitsec map clamp set to 4.25v and going with BIP Tuning to fix what other tuners can't. No failsafe, brother. ..

Had mine in the 18-19 psi range almist on a daily basis with no issues at all. Stock MAP sensor and im still running the canned tune that Steve @ Weistec gave me to get the thing running, no custom dyno tune yet.

I was hitting 16.5 psi at sea level. Now I live close to 4,000 ft and I am hitting a little over 13 psi. 175 mm crank pulley and 80 mm fixed s/c pulley.

Bramage was hitting failsafe at 17.5 with 185 mm and I think an 80 or 83 mm upper.

I'm not sure what my peak was but I when Jeremy and I did a road tune awhile back I recall him saying something about @ 15.1 it wasn't bleeding off any boost

I'm making about 20.2psi and no limp mode. Some people get it at high boost and some don't. Trying to figure out what the difference is

Where are you measuring? Manifolds or the Y-pipe location?

haha. By now we all know that you are not running factory SC. I was asking because the placement of the sensor may account for some of the difference. I have seen a 2PSI difference between the manifold and the Y-pipe.

I think the difference might be how long the boost levels are high.

EREBUS is throwing codes but he's mile racing, and spending 4+ seconds with the MAP maxed out IIRC
