2.3 What's your maximum boost

[JerryG]

I can't seem to get above 21 psi and have run out of ideas for further gains beyond having downpipes fabricated. I am currently running intake/exhaust/Intercooler/tune. I have a water meth system that hasn't been installed yet.

The waste gate caps you at 21 with Ford Performance ProCal tune, and I think 18 if stock without the tune. You’ll have to look at 3rd party tunes to override the waste gate to try to get higher.

Thanks. Is this something an external wastegate allows?

I've seen 22 PSI with the Ford Performance tune.

Steady state or "just saw the gage flicker there for a bit"

It was a steady 22 psi, then it dipped back down over time.

I get 19 (not sustained) with no tune if you believe the gauge. (Intake, charge pipes, exhaust, intercooler, and a stage 3 54mm turbo from crpengineering that’s a paperweight since no one can figure out a custom tune for the 2.3l or a downpipe) coming up on 2 years of places developing a downpipe with not much progress and no one seems to really be working on a tune other than juggernaut, but they’re having software issues is what I was told so who knows.

No one made a custom tune for the mustang? The 2.3 has been used for quite some time on that vehicle.
