BOOST.

Postby Brammer on Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:17 pm

How much boost do you run in your cars and to what spec???

I'm really getting bored of standard boost :( .

Mine runs 7psi dropping to 6psi and produced 159.7bhp at the last road tune.

:lol: :lol: Why have mods moved this to here as this is a question asking people what boost they run in their cars and to what spec not a tech question, can you move back?

Sorry mate. I would consider a question about the amount of boost being run in a car and to what specification as indeed being a technical question, and not something that qualifies as general car discussion. However, I will bump it over to tuning for you, as in fairness that's probably more appropriate than having it in here.
My name is Alex. I used to have a Capri. I don't anymore. But I'm still called Capri.

Ahmed Bayjoo 195 Chip
T28 Hybrid Turbo with 360 bearings and cut back blades
AP Paddle Clutch
K&N
Mongoose system
Beige Injectors
LSD Gearbox
Custom one-off Radtec Intercooler and Rad

I only got as much as 170 on the rolling road due to the clutch slipping and was running about 12psi

I am going to replace the clutch and go back to see what I get. WIll probably raise the boost to 1bar
