i am a mechanic and i do know what i am doing as i have had a turbo car before i was just wondering what kind of boost every1 was running so i have an idea what i could run its a jabba remap

 

[mr_D]

phil ur down the diff???

I might be interested in some stuff. If rhys dont have the forge hopes i might want them. Depends on which ones? Will have to check the fit of that elbow as well.

 

[PhilW]

The elbow off the inlet manifold is the small one goind to be thebrake servo.

25mm elbow i used to go from the charge pipe to the DV.

And the 70mm elbow is the filter one.

You probably wont be able to run much more boost than what your jabba map is requesting.

Why do you want to run more? Have you actually seen the size of the turbo? You want more boost/power get a bigger turbo.


I spike at 22.5+psi, not sure exactly as the MAP sensor only reads to 2550mbar which is ~22.5psi then just follows requested to redline which is about 12 ish psi.
