[Mk2] [Turbo] rev3 turbo stock boost

[pcwinks]

Just fitted a mechanical boost gauge to my 95 rev 3.
It is boosting 13 / 14 psi does this seem right?

Car fitted with hks dump valve, apexi induction kit, blue flame exhaust.
Thinking of fitting an mbc what psi should i run safely and would I gain much? Everything else standard

Sound about right bud

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

^ yeah that

[jasongtr]

really, when i have my blitz ebc turned off i wont see past 11psi

Stock boost on rev3 turbo is 13psi. Fuel cut @ 18.

[jasongtr]

ah well, its never turned off much to be honest, usually set at 17-18psi

Nah, not a right lot of point fitting a boost controller and switching it off.

[jasongtr]

its turned off if im caught out in the wet, but it seems to only flick flames out when its turn up

Just because it's turned on, it doesn't mean you have to use the boost in the wet!

[jasongtr]

ah right i didnt realise that

is that even possible to not use boost?

[jasongtr]

NAH he's messing around
