just got a 2004 ion redline last week. i heard that the boost was limited for so many miles. is this true? hooked up aftermarket boost/vacuum gauge and max boost is 13-14 psi.

yeah i have heard that too...everything from 1000-2400 mile break in on it...but I called Saturn motor sports and they said it should come from the factory running 12 psi....Are u saying ur boost gauge is reading 13-14 psi.

 

[metalhead26]

the gauge reads around 13 give or take. could be 12psi, the gauge is a 2 1/16" auto meter 30 in.Hg./30psi. vacuum/boost. i have 600 miles on the redline now, 300 miles when i put the gauge in.

I think they run between 12 to 12.5 psi.

Hey Metalhead....I'm in Fort Worth too. I live out by the Motor Speedway. Another member on here, Cole, is from Arlington. We oughta all hang out and go cruise the RL's around Fort W.

The idea that the computer automatically limits itself by mileage is kinda silly. I've never heard of any car that forces its own break-in period.

12-13 psi sounds about right, regardless of mileage.
