Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev3 turbo stock boost

Boost wise I run mine at 1.15 bar (16-17psi) though I'd say that we're your limit without checking things out properly on a dyno :D

Re: [Mk2] [NA] No speed signel to ECU after fitting turbo engine to Rev 1 NA

rev 1's run off a mechanical speedo drive as opposed to electric, has this been taken into consideration?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] what are these parts ???

Re: what size head gasket

If you drop your compression from say 9:1 to 8:1 you will lose 3% in power, and for any given boost you will have a larger charge in the cylinder, as there is more room, so that will give more power. One of the most important settings in the engine and comes about by the head and piston design is t...

Re: what size head gasket

Any thicker and you are going to have an amount of charge between the piston and head that is going to give bad detonation.


Is this due to the quench of the pistons bud? wiseco state a maximum piston head to clearance of 30 thou (0.75mm)
