with a cheap gauge and cheap MBC you can see that.

its why i have been holding off on getting what i really want for my car..

i am going with the AEM Tru Boost gauge. its a electric gauge and electric boost controller in one unit. its even cheaper then if u buy those separately about 250

it has nothing to do with the guage or the MBC...
he is seeing boost spike, due to the puny little wastegate hole in the vj14 hotside, it cant initially get rid of enough exhaust and spikes til the hole size catches up. its common as hell, if you want you can turn the boost down just a tad. or you can just not worry about it ive run over 20 psi with stock injectors on the vj14 and 14/11 HBD.. its not gonna hurt your car to spike a bit.. but it is an annoyance...to defeat this you can remove your turbo, and pull the center section from the hot side, and take a stone or a carbide and wallow out the wastegate hole a little... just dont go so big that the flapper wont cover the hole anymore that would be bad... if it were me i wouldnt do anything to it.. its just creep and if your only creeping to 17 and then leveling off. your not hurting your engine. 15-16-17psi is where the power is made with a vj-14/11 turbo anyway... when you get to 21-23 lbs on that turbo you can blow stuff up...
besides over 17psi your heating air and losing power anyway...16psi is the sweet spot, but a psi under or over isnt gonna kill it..

oh and russ, with a hotside that big, im not too worried about your boost power surge, thats not gonna come on till 5,000 rpm.. you see with a turbo that big, lag and too much boost become factors... pushing that much air CFM means actually running less PSI also WATCH YOUR TRANNY
if you have a clutch that can hold it, you can break the gears to bits, with what that turbo is capable of... oh and GET A WIDEBAND that reads numbers guy.. you need to know what your afr is at all times with BIG turbos... other than that just remember im still running compression #s...
your running a 7.9-1 compression...
 im running 9.2-1 compression ... without turbos on our cars mines gonna be quite a bit faster
so with turbos ...we'll see... oh and i got a new toy more recently too...
 
my external fuel pressure regulator...yea im gonna run my rail, as an independant contractor...LOL...Joe...RCICustoms

i was going to move my battery there as well but decided to put it in the rear when i do it. most tracks want it there and a kill switch once you get to a certain level. not sure if this car will see it but just in case. and the way i built my shelf's back there it has a perfect spot for it

just an fyi on your belts. You do know they need to go over a tie bar thats about even with the slots right? If not and you get into a wreck (hope it never happens to you) those seat belts will pull downward on your spine in a severe way compressing it. Just wanted you to know.

I have been thinking of pulling my back seats as well but still on the fence about it.

thanks for the tip ... i did not know about that ... i will look into trying to fab up something that will fit in the back with what little room i have.

basically right now there for aesthetics. usually only where the lap belt i figure if i get into a crash in this car im screwed either way

no problem

just wouldnt want you to get hurt over something no one told you.

I am sure there is something you can come up with that will make them safe and functional.

kinda like this ...just so that, "foward force" is not turned into "downward force" in an accident....

you can secure them to the chassis where the back seatbelt bolts in, but this all but kills the rear seat space for things like subwoofers or groceries... your seats are not strong enough (if the belts are secured under the seats) to keep from being pulled through by the seatbelts (or harnesses)under forward force.. this can break your back in a bad wreck from the front...
