Mine hits 17 and then settles at 15.jman_b13 said:woops didn't see your post, and if you look higher up in the thread on turboford, you'll notice I said the boost spikes up 1-2psi and then settles at 19. its a ric gillis valve.

Brantley said:bhuff, interesting results.. I would have thought you'd have gotten higher HP as well. In your list of mods, you don't say anything about the head, so that's still stock, correct?
My gillis valve spikes to 22 and then comes down to 20. I did the drinking straw around the spring trick this past weekend and it didn't make any difference. The straw is supposed to be the length of the spring when it's fully compressed, right? I wonder if (I bet) the vacuum line length from the vac tree matters?
A little bit of confusion here that needs cleared up. The dyno was Jmans car, and I was trying to comment on it.Brantley said:bhuff, interesting results..

I've had the hose from the turbo the whole time and it always went 2 higher than settled.Brantley said:You were having spike problems before, correct? Does having it come from the turbo help, or does it still spike?
Stinger said:My gillis has only had the spike problem a few times...both times I've taken it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together and the problem has went away. Mine goes up to 19.5psi and stops...no spiking.
