Default Max boost with a 98 PCM?
Like the title says, what's the most boost you can run with a stock 98 PCM?

I think it depends on if you still run your mass air or have a HPtuners speed density tune or not.

You have several options.. HP Tuners 2 Bar... which give you up to 14.7psi... there's several 98 pcms running custom 3 bar setups.. And there's always BS3..

NASTY used the MAF- T Pro.. not that expensive. I believe Fcfd98 uses a custom 3 bar.. Just do a search.. Several guys have done it for years.. Because there was no other alternative really.
