Re: Boost problem

Re: Which boost gauge to get?

rev 2 should boost more than 6-7psi since my rev 1 boosted 8-9 satandard on the rollers, i bought a apexi el boost gauge, i think this one is good because its very slim, only about 25mm and a nice display which is very accurate. but then its up to u.there are a lot of bar to psi converters on the ne...

Re: I only want 300BHP

i would put water injection on it, realy cheap and a great power gain, also protects again detonation at the top end, i should be getting my aquamist kit soon, only going for a basic one at the mo to see how it works.

Re: How do you get that sound...

yeah its a very bad thing, thats why u only get the sound when u ease of the throttle gently, u keep the bov cloded forcing the built up boost to go backwards into the turbo causing compressor surge and stalling your turbo, plays xxxx with the bearings but sounds the dogs. ide say stick with the HKS...

Re: How do you get that sound...
