Blouch turbo
Has anyone here ever fitted a blouch 16g turbo ???? Just fitted one to my 95 wrx and it doesn't appear to be boosting as much as the standard turbo did.... My question is, even though the car is set up with a simtek ecu and was making close to 330bhp on the original 16g turbo do I need to have the ecu re-mapped again for the new turbo. I know I do to make more power but as a like for like swap should it make the same kinda of power as before or is the actuator which on mine I believe is set at 9psi the reason it doesn't boost as much even through the ecu is programmed for about 18psi. Thanks

Martyn, I am getting it booked back in with you to remap, but I'm trying to get the turbo - filter hose tidied up first... Is this something you've done before - snorkle entry car fitted with a front entry turbo, I looked into raising manifold on my model but seemed to be more trouble than its worth so I stick with the original restrictive setup but struggling to get the 90degree hose to mate upto the OE black hose that would of gone onto the turbo pipe....

In regards to message above the hoses are all connected properly ... I'll aim to get my car booked in for the first Saturday you return to work in September...
