Message	It started when I spoke with an Evo-X guy who told me he ran 28psi... to which I remarked, ON PUMP GAS? He said that factory boost was 25psi, so it wasn't a big deal! Recently spoke with a Focus ST owner, who said his car was 23psi stock. I know both these cars are 4cyl, but is that the only reason/difference? 4cyl to 6cyl can't make that much of a difference can it? Our Z32's seem to max out at 15psi (17 if pushing it) on pump gas, why is this so? Can some experts chime in on here? Really curious. 93 2+2 Twin Turbo Track Build - jsworks.org for more info!
