How much boost?

Postby LeeM2 on Tue Jan 04, 2005 2:07 pm

I had my FRST chipped yesterday with the OFAC 165 superchip. I have an uprated T2 -75 actuator and it's only running 12psi. This is with the actuator arm wound right in...?

Is this all the boost i can run?

It's on its original T2, with pace intercooler, re-built 30k ago, kent cam, lightened fly wheel.

Cheers

i would go T3 (or hybrid T2) and ditch the pace cooler from something more efficient before going too high with the boost

yer i wouldn't mind going T3 with a bigger intercooler, but I got the Pace really cheap and it's better than the std cooler.

I thought the 165 superchip and uprated actuator could run 14psi?

Not too sure what a -75 actuator is, SCC gave me this. It's an uprated actuator for the T2 Turbo.

Can i fit a bleed valve to squeeze out a bit more psi?

you might as well buy some matches and go to the cash machine, take out £100 quid and set fire to it, cos ull soon be rebuilding the engine again

a bleed valve will just turn up the boost with no accuracy, it will also not cure your cooling problem that the Pace will be causing, it wont adjust a fueling so you will be running lean

if you want results your gonna have to be prepared to pay for them

The uprated actuator for a T2 is a -32 and its the only uprated actuator i know of for the T2.

As for using a bleedvalve, well i have been using one for nearly 50k miles. There is NOTHING wrong with a lockable bleedvalve as long as you LEAVE IT ALONE and you have a good boost gauge to keep an eye on your boost, but everyone i know fits a boost gauge anyway.
