Default Re: first time turbo

why not more than 5psi?
i mean if you get a little mor power with a little boost then more boost and more power
i mean it's only cheating if you get caught and it's only and advantage when the competition doesn't know about it


i say crank it to 12-15psi dyno tune it
and i wanna see 150whp!

but to be honost, nice build different and functional the hmt way

No e/f management at this point, I've been at the "moates" site thinking about how to adjust this ecm, but honestly, I'll probably just switch to a Focus ZX3 after this season. There's way more aftermarket parts for them, including the ecm's. The stock fuel pump keeps up, and I've got a O2 clamp on it for "tip-in". The stock ecm is for a 1.3 so the signals it sends to the 1.6 injectors makes it run a little rich, so no running lean here. The rev limiter hits at 6,100 rpms. I'm actually amazed at how fast it spools up and then how hard this turbo pulls all the way to redline, I got lucky picking this sized unit. The guys with the Audi 1.8's cry all the time about no top end on their cars, and then they switch to the k04 turbo or something else bigger. So that's how I figured this should charge my 1.6 fine, and I was right. I want to go up to 7psi but I'm trying to resist being too greedy, with the stock internals and all I figured it would hold about 10 psi, but I don't know ----. As you guys already know, if it doesn't hook up, you're not boosting.
