Boost Question - Stage IV

Guys - what type of Bar or Boost should I be seeing at WOT with a Stage IV set up? Also, does climate have anything to do with the amount Turbo Bar I am regristering? What I mean is would living in the hot Desert show less boos than someone in Michigan?

it would be nice for u to SUSTAIN 1.2 bars in 4rth and 5th.... but it probably drops off to 1.1 bars... and every .1 bar really counts...
and I bet that in 1st and second gears ur not getting 1.2 bars either.... (if u have stock k24s).
I had another tuners' stage 4 and it did that....
if ur running k24s then thats probably whats happening.... u may want to upgrade ur springs...

Mark, I have this funny feeling that I will want to upgrade to Stage 4 soon... My question to you is, besides EVO who else makes a good kit out there. I'm looking for something that will have the same type of spool up as the K16s (I'm a low and mid-TQ guy). I remember reading that k24 hybrids might be the way to go, but I'm not sure...

Az, weather will have an effect on boost. Hot air is less dense so there's not as much filling the cylinder. Air = power.

Thats what I thought but didnt know for sure. In the last month the weather here has gone from 70's to mid 90's and I notice that I lost about .1 boost at WOT. I was wondering if it was the car or the weather, now I know. I am sure it will only get worse as we creep into the 110 - 115's this summer!

I get 1.2 going to 1.3 and back down to 1.2 at redline with stock X50 turbos on stage 3.
