Anyone fitted a bleed valve or Dawes to an early model wagon (with the TD04) without a remap? Just wondering if it's safe to run a little more boost (about 13-14psi) without the map to go with it? The car is run on SUL or optimax with octane booster.
I know it's be a much better idea to get the right map but i'm don't wanna pay the daft prices for a chip just to get a few extra hp.

Yep, fitted a Dawes to a MY94 UK Turbo wagon, although mine has a TD05 which I'm sure yours should have too?
No problems with it so far, probably done about 10k-15k since it's been on?
Currently running at or around Fuel cut due to the colder weather, will need to screw it back a bit. With that and the full decat/filter it got a very good 287bhp on the rollers at Star at the end of Spetember/start of October.
I run with a boost gauge at the moment but do plan on adding the knocklink/afr soon (and then the FCD?
).

I'm thinking of running a few extra psi but it's a JDM car and i don't wanna turn the boost up too much and upset the fueling. If i'm running it with octane booster and i'm getting close to jap fuel octane ratings then i sholdn't do it any harm. Right?? I'm just looking to squeeze a few more hp without spending much cash cuz the car's getting sold after the new year.

David,
Well there's a few reasons for me selling.
1) The car hasn't run properly since i bought it.
2) It's not really a good base car to modify since it's already down on power over most other scoobs.
3) It's gonna take a few hundred quid to even get the interior looking half decent.
4) Someone tried to steal it 2 nights ago and I've only had it for a few months
5) Insurance is horrific considering it's not that fast a car
6) I've never really liked the car anyway
7) I want a Nissan with 2 big **** off turbos
I could go on but I'm sure you get the general idea.
