Default What boost psi are you twin screw and roots blower guys activating alky injection?

I am about to hook my SMC kit back up. It currently is set to come on around 4psi. I am running between 10-11 pounds of boost. Any input on when to activate it would be great.

Thanks,
Randy

Mine comes on about 8-9 psi but I'm running 20+ psi of boost. I'd say having it start at 4-5 psi is about right, especially if it has a controller to ramp up the pump speed.

It's not a progressive kit. I do plan to upgrade to a progressive controller, but it will be a while.

Mine is set at 4 or 5 PSI...can't tell exactly as it is activated by a Hobbs switch which isn't calibrated nor labeled. Keeps the meth from coming on under 'normal' acceleration (which I rarely see ).
