service before mbc? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 850 t-gul on  Sun Mar 9 16:54 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I’m getting my Dawes Device soon and wanted to get a quick tune up before I install it. Nothing serious just a few things to aid in the added stress of turning up the boost slightly. Oil change, new fuel filter, etc, any suggestions would be helpful. If anyone has any suggestions on what psi I should run that would help also. It’s a 95 T-5R w/ 148,000 miles, I run 94 octane all the time and was thinking of running at least 14 psi maybe 15? I also notice the overboost/torque limiter in first gear, ie I punch it in first and my gauge reads about 8 or 9 psi, then in second it jumps to 11 or 12. My question is with the mbc do I get 15 psi in first gear? Like it isn't hard enough trying not to spin the tires as is.
