Default Gained 2 PSI
I have had my turbo kit on my Integra for a few months now. I had bought a rubber elbow from home depot because the company I purchased my charge pipe forgot to send the elbow. So yesterday my home depot elbow kept poping off(possibly cause of the heat and weakness of that crappy elbow). I had received the other elbow in the mail some time ago but never put it on. So I put on the right elbow and my car was hitting 12psi like it should have been.

Home depot elbow= 10 PSI
Drag Elbow=12 PSI

I just thought its was cool how somethin that little can affect so much. My car is a hell of a lot faster now too. Just a heads up to anyone dealing with boost
