I'm sure a V2 with a Z4 should be 275ps. Isn't a Z4 standard on the V2? What have you got in it at the moment?

Possiblyto better to get a boost controller and get what power you require from more boost, if you use thre right fuel and have the gauges for safety ( AFR, Knock ! ).

Best of all is a proper uprated ECU, like the link or Apexi PFC etc and get it all mapped in!
Safe smooth and powerfull!!

My V2 sti has a Z4 on it. It also has an eprom chip in it. Boost 1.1 and very quick. I'm sure you should be boosting at 13.8psi(nearly 1 bar). I'm a bit confused now about what a z4 is off

Z4 is off a 95WRx iirc 260ps... ?

U may have a U8 cover, but check that you havent got an eprom/chip inside.

Car flies now. 1.7/1.5 bar peak depends on the weather 348bhp/330ft/lb

However the car was not slow with the Z4
