ok, sounds ok then I guess cause my boost gauge is reading a little over 5, I thought at first that I was leaking boost cause I herd the whole 7-8 psi thing on stock, so wait is that why s5 are faster more boost? I thought there was alot different about them. explain.

More boost, slightly better turbo design and a lil higher comp rotors.

i have a large ported wastegate and my boost is at a consistant 7lbs or so.... and it doesnt change at all, so im not hitting boost creep at all. Oh yea, its an 87. Also, my vaccuum reading is right around 20 as well.

You guys get 20 inhg at idle?? With my stock port I get a max of 18 at 1000rpm idle. What rpm is your idle set to?
