Would you please quote your mods & boost pressure & year of car, im only really concerned with figures for uk cars. I would like to know that there are others running 18psi or above with no problems.

My car:- my94 fully decat, phase 1 chip, blitz induction, dawes, now running @ 18 psi with no problems & it is amazing!!

Cheers.

 

MY00, Link, VF24, HKS FMIC @ 1,3 bar - runs strong (and totally hassle-free) and it's used on track regularly - I love the car.

I'm even thinking of extracting more power out of it now that the fuel pump has been sorted...maybe a larger turbo...headers...then a wee bit of internal work, who knows?

MY94
Prodrive Chip
ITG Filter
Prodrive BB
DIY FCD
DIY AFR
Currently Running 15psi (an for now I'm happy)

I'm running on the theory that my Old Series 1 RS Turbo was running at 14psi/180BHP (Standard is 7psi/132BHP) and has done since 1994 without a Turbo or Engine rebuild.

I just hope my Scoob is as reliable.......

What do you think of the phase1 rechip (power delivery, torque etc.)? I'm running a MY96 with Revolution 3" system (no centre cat), Dawes & K&N panel filter at about 0.95 bar (exhaust was worth 0.1bar on its own). Considering the chip as my next step.

unfortunately (or fortunately really) the car had the phase 1 before i bought it so i cannot directly comment on the improvement.
My brother also has a my94 without phase 1 & has similar mods & actually got better results than myself @ powerstation running lower boost, although he says my car feels stronger & it does feel extrememly lively.

 

I know Mervyn at PE doesn't like the Dawes - he took pictures of me removing it from my car when I was fitting Tek 3 However, it might be worth asking him if your PE Phase 1 is setup to handle 18 PSI from the fuelling and timing point of view.

 

Im currently looking at the Apexi turbo from RC so if I get one, i'll definatley be seeing Mervyn for a bit of a tweak.
I've got an afr meter on the way so that i can monitor the fuelling, & im now running on optimax & a wee bit of NF so hopefully that should help if theres any timing issues.

 

Ive got a PPP my98 and I fitted a Dawes yesterday, before fitting the dawes I was running at about 14 psi ( standard ?? ) Ive increased to to 16 psi but caution is stopping my from going any higher.
The thing I have noticed is the power is so much more sudden than before, it realy is pulling well but I dont know if its just my imagination but it doesnt seem to want to rev as freely as before ? well not in 3rd and 4th but that could just be me.

Attu,

i noticed with the dawes that the power seems to come on more sudden, no problems with not revving freely though, revs cleanly to 7.5k (although i rarely go above 6k) its just awesome now!

Only problem is, you always want more!!!!!!!

 

1.5 bar

But I'm nuts and I don't care if I blow my engine I need an excuse to give the Mrs. why I need uprated pistons

I have also taken MANY precautions and spent a fair bit on mods, so don't try this at home.

1.4 bar...............

 

MY00, Ecutek Tek 3, ported OEM manifold, Turbo Dynamics MD297 hybrid at 20 PSI, exhaust. To add BPM TMIC this week.

Edited to say "oh and Prodrive ECU"
