Has anyone changed the pulley for more boost?

Of course but to do it you have to retune it.

I want to get a G1 kit but I also want to leave the option of fully building the engine in the future and don't want it to be a bottle neck for power.
I'm pushing 7psi right now.

Yes, you can go with a smaller pulley like a 2.8", or down to a 2.6". As mentioned in the other threads, 12psi is enough to crack your manifold, or cause detonation

Somebody - i apologize, the PES s/c is based on the M62, not the M45 as previously mentioned. I've corrected the error

Ya I know but its way more complicated to me. Seems it would be less efficient too.

wow this thread blew up lol

Anyways really 5.5? 300 Hp and its 5.5?

That still seems a little slow...What RPM do you launch at?

I believe I would have to put a nice grabby clutch in with my SC so i can launch hard cause my clutch wont be able to take it.

So if i wanted to push lets say 9psi what would i have to do to tune it?

Im experienced with tuning AFRs and timing on turbos and im used to richening the mixture as i raise the boost. Is the G2s map really so lean 2 psi could kill the engine?
