_____98 240sx w/ 98 Sr20det engine
_____Z32 MAF/ 525cc Inectors/ ECU Chipped (for TD06 turbo,for now)
_____Hybrid Development FMIC (HUGE!!!)

____Though I don't do it very often, if I turn my boost controller all the way up, I can hit 17 psi. I am getting the reading off the manifold, so its after pressure loss from the intercooler. Yes, I know its not good for the engine (though I had a broken WGA and hitting 17psi a lot more than I should have for 10k miles, fixed now with HKS adjustable WGA), the spark plugs looked really good with no signs of detination). I have heard that big FMIC have a pretty large pressure loss. If that's true, would I be able to hit say 18 or maybe 19 with a Air to Water? Even if its the same effeciency, it could mean an extra 20HP or so.

I am just throwing this in the air. Though I am debating on going Air-to-Water because it is suppose to cut down on lag quite a bit.
