Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
that is getting close to the explosion point for my stocker IC.
Don't worry about 10:1 under boost too much. If you are running 14:7 everywhere else, it means it's running fine.
These cars run pig fat rich under boost in stock form and they last forever.
don't worry about popping the intercooler. you will blow hoses off before you burst it, IME. Mine has seen numerous "oh **** the MBC adjuster screw fell out, instaboost to 25psi" spikes (my gauge is off the manifold, so i know it went through the IC) with no ill effects.
13-16psi is VERY fun with a 15g. it just hits so hard and fast
I run 15PSI on my car with a 15G, chips, and stock intercooler, and it's never given me any trouble. I've never heard of anybody blowing the ends off the IC either.

Sounds optimal. Aren't we all shooting for improvements here? You should not settle for afrs like that. You could get a LOT more just from some decent tuning.
The point I was making was, that his cylinder walls wouldn't get washed down with fuel condensed on them by running 10:1 AFR on boost.
".....Germans bombed Pearl Harbor....." Wow. Did not know that.
Don't make me link the video clip....
Not true at all. And he's running richer than 10:1 I'm pretty sure.
Based upon chatting with Gstellar, who fought a similar rich issue under WOT/full boost, I'll be checking/replacing my knock sensor to make sure it isn't failing or broken. A good scan through the "Mikes Chips" feedback thread has enlightened me.....I'll be checking to confirm I am not causing the ECU to pull timing/pour fuel due to knock. Also will do the leak down testing between compressor exit and the TPS. I'll update with findings.........
