Hi all,
Just need some advice, ive noticed that the boost on my P1 (tek 3) reaches 1.3 bar and holds at 1.2 bar in 3 4 5 gears, im happy wit that.
The problem is with 1 and 2 gears the boost seems to take a while to build up?? it takes its time getting to 0.5 bar then woosh it kicks in but both gears only seem to reach 0.9 bar SOMETIMES, othertimes theyll both hit 1.2 bar??
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance Justin

Not much you can do while still using the factory boost control. There is a rom file out there with per gear duties, but unless you're prepared to use a lot of clutches and gearboxes it's probably not worth it.

Its normal for lower gears to show lower boost, its because the engine load impedance is lower, the rom mentioned was only available for Eurospec cars and not the Sti/P1.
