Is it worth fitting a £400+ EBC to a REV3+ for an extra 2psi??

I've recently fitted a Berk downpipe to my rev3 turbo and have been really impressed with the difference. Coupled with an apexi intake, intercooler and departure exhaust I am often seeing boost spikes in 2nd gear to 14psi, and the rest 15 psi tailing off to 14 My next mod was going to be an EBC, but...

Re: missfire on higher boost

Misfire only at higher boost levels (+ 0.7 bar) will also show up any compression issues that you may have as the effects of blowby will occur more so at higher boost levels.

If this is the cause of your problem droping your plug gap down from 0.8mm to 0.6mm might help.

Re: Fooked Turbo ?

Light Grey if anything!

Some other posts on here suggest it could be turbo oil seals?

Fooked Turbo ?

I have discovered small deposits of unburnt oil in my intake system in the pipework between the intercooler & inlet manifold.

Does this mean my stock CT20 is on it's way out??

When I get to max boost 0.7/0.9 bar the engine will hesitate, like as thou im hitting the rev limiter due to a misfiring I've checked the ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] REV3 VSV / boost limts?

Yes around 5000 rpm but the boost guage is always reading 0.9 bar, the engine holds back similar to hitting the rev limiter. I am not sure if I can get at the VSV plug this weekend or fix in an MBC in time so as a test I will disconnect the hose from the actuator to the vsv and plug it. If i let the...

[Mk2] [Turbo] REV3 VSV / boost limts?

I've recently bought a REV3 fitted out with a HKS intake, custom made stainless exhaust and a Greddy boost guage. Don't know if theres a dowpipe fitted, but it's stock boost control. I get to 0.7/0.9 bar really quickly when the engine bucks so I assume I am hitting the boost limit for a rev3 and the...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Can someone recommend a good value EBC?

I've just bought a rev3 running stock boost and need an EBC too.
Which EBC offers best value for money and reliabilty sub £400?
And which is the one that fits snug into the ashtray compartment?

thanks
