Default What pressure with CO2?

With a CO2 setup what are you guys running on the front of the solenoid? Or ontop of the wastgate, any input is appreciated. Is 125psi too much before the solenoid?
thanks,
J

yes way too much. The amount of pressure you need will vary depending on the setup though. Running it through the boost control solenoid you'll want enough so that you can make your maximum target boost with like 15-20% duty left on the solenoid. say you are maxing out at 30 psi with the solenoid fully open, meaning its giving the full 30 psi to the top of the gate, you know you need more than 30 psi of co2 to keep it shut and make more boost. so your starting point needs to be over 30 psi..

if you hook the co2 up straight to the top of the gate, then all you have to do is adjust your co2 pressure until you hit your target boost. then you can get tricky with pressure regulators and switching valves to activate different boost levels. controlling the boost with the ecu is a lot easier though, and more precise.
