Boost Spikes??
#1
What can i do to get the car to boost consistently/ accurately with no boost spikes. I only just noticed this after plumbing in a boost guage. Surely these aren't too good for the engine.

I stand under correction but I think it's pretty much designed to overboost initially for that extra bit of acceleration. One way to control it a bit better would be to fit an EBC.

I've noticed that I get a constance boost of about 1.05 to 1.1 with the dawes but it sometimes spikes for a split second up to almost 1.2. I would like to turn up the dawes to achieve a cold weather held 1.1-1.2 but would that mean these very brief spikes would trigger fuel cut or would the ECU be too slow to catch them?
Sorry if this is a bit of a hijack.

You don't need an EBC at all.

As PeteC says, go have a thorough read of the other thread. Messing with your restrictor sizes will help things somewhat. I find that 1.1mm is quite a good conservative setup for me, although you may want to try 1mm for slightly higher boost. This is with std exhaust & cat.
Pete (and Deep) has tried 1.2mm with a decat, which IIRC gives nothing more than a 1.2bar spike (down from 1.7bar).
Using an EBC to fix this spiking, is like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant. The ant will still die, but would you have wanted to pay 50 quid for the sledgehammer?
Cheers.
