My scooby is boosting at 0.8psi at full boost and i have been looking at some others and they seem to be boosting at around 1.2-1.4psi standard ? Its a 03 bugeye. Im just wondering if 0.8 is about right or what do i need to check/replace ? The car is not standard its got quite a few modifications on it and is due a re-map after i put the injectors on.
Regards Justin.

 

Stock boost pressure on a 2003 should be 0.9BAR, which is approx 13.05psi. 1.2 - 1.4Bar boosting isnt standard at all.

What Mods do you have currently?

 

Oh right thanks, i had bar and psi a bit mixed up lol , Off the top of my head the current mods i have are Front mounted intercooler, uprated fuel pump, bigger throttle body, cold air intake, straight through exhaust decated, td05 turbo, manual boost controller,uprated spark plugs,air induction kit. probably a few other small bits but off the top of my head thats it

 

You got all that and its not been mapped yet?

 

I know its not good at all. Not sure where to go for it. Im not sure where you are from but do you know anyone near london area where i could get it re-mapped and for what sort of money ?

 

Neil at slowboy racing. Right opposite brands hatch, does a live map on the road. Good prices too!

 

oh ok, thanks. I will definately look into it.

 

Dude come on, with those mods the words look in to it is just crazy talk.

Go get a remap, get your car running like it should be doing before you do serious damage to the engine

And you will gain Alot more power

 

Tick tick ...... Mate honestly do not even atempt to put that on boost until remapped or you will be posting asking why your car is smoking and using oil

 

It is a time bomb at the minute!! Get it over to Neil. He will sort it out straight away, and like said above will get alot more poke with them mods
