Stock boost is set at 14.7 lbs and stage 2 is on an AP brings it up to 16.8 lbs. Do you have a boost controller?

No boost conntroler. Just the AP. The only mods I have are the sf cobb intake an the AP. Ill post my questions later on today. But I think I may be overboosting... from my understanding this is not good. Please let me know wher I should at stage 1

ahhh, So i am still new to the forums an dont have any friends or even know how to get them. so thank you for getting back to me on my intro!!! I have been haveing a problem loseing oil an they all suggest i change my oil. so im looking for amsoil Z rod I guess something with high zink? 10w30 is what the guys in the forum tell me will work well. Now for the question where do i get this an what type of filter should i use? I would probly order a case and a few filters all at once.
What ill try an do is give ya a call tomorrow some time an get a price. I am going to have to wait till probly next week to buy an have it shipped.
Thanks a bunch

If you are stage one and seeing 18 PSI then yes you are over boosting. Stage one should be no higher than 17psi. Stock is 14,.5 PSI if I remember right. This is for GR's. Should be the same for GD's. The over boosting would not be causing you to consume the oil directly. Now it might have caused you to pop your motor or caused other problems that have led to increased oil consumtion. Also switch to the Amsoil as soon as possible. I used to use Royal purple as well. I had a lot of Blow-by (you can check for blow by very easily. Just pull off the top mount inter cooler and check the couplings for any oil. There should little if any) Now with Amsoil I have not a drop of blow by.

That's awsome! My next question is kinda throwing me off... I called amsoil direct and they are telling me that high zink is no good for my car something to do with emissions ... now im confused? What should I be useing or not useing. I have been to aggressive. This is my everyday car. Thanks again!!
