morning peeps.....

what sort of boost levels are people running in there re-mapped vrs's??

i fitted a boost gauge the weekend and it seems i'm peeking at 18psi sometimes and others 12-14psi

seems to hold around 12-14psi on load.

1.3 - 1.4 bar

My mods are; Forge Splitter Valve, Forge FMIC, eBay 5 layer Silicone TIP, BMC filter, 2.5" Milltek decat non resonated exhaust, OCT tuning

19psi peak, boost gauges can be misleading. Mine reads 24psi when its actually pushing 19psi

Think im running 1 bar of boost . Ive got a gauge and i think it 0.2 bar out as when the car was standard it read 0.5 bar , had her re-mapped and reads 0.8 bar s

Mine hits n holds 21 psi.

Shark remap, k&n panel in modded airbox, de cat downpipe, milltek non res cat back system

Double post!

Stupid iPhone!!

I think it's around 10psi

ideal boost would be a peak of 1.2 and hold 1 bar to the redline

anymore and you fall into the turbo wont last long territory

What boost level are "normal" for chiped car after 5000rpms? My peaks around 1.3-1.4 the settles to 1.1-1.2 till it hits at app.5800rpms, then takes a nose dive to 0.7bar and holds it to rev max. Is it possible that Forge FMIC has too large internal volume and turbo can not push it any more or turbo is maxed out?

nothing to do with the fmic more down to a mapping not being very good
