97 uk turbo standard boost pressure?
 
hey all,
what boost should my standard 97 uk turbo 2000 be running? fitted a gauge today and its peaking at 0.5bar which seems a little low, also whats the max boost i could safely run on the standard ecu while im saving a few pennys for a apexi pfc
thanks

anyone? tried searching but could'nt find a definate answer

should be around .9 bar thats on a my99 fuel cuts in at 1.2 bar. Running 1 to 1.1 bar should be ok, befor i had a remap i was runin at 1.1 for just over a year.

0.5 bar is normally the limp home mode boost level that is if the boost gauge is reading correctly

thats actuator boost pressure,are you sure ur BCS aint knackered

sean turbo2000 27 October 2008 09:03 PM

could well be, i tried resetting the ecu to make sure its not in limp mode but still the same,is there anyway of testing the boost solenoid too see if its functioning correctly before buying another?
thanks for the help

erm,i junked mine for a dawes device but you could try giving it a clean out with some brake/carb cleaner also check that the restrictor pill aint blocked or anything stupid like that. Best thing would be to try another solinoid on there,or check the actuator aint stuck or baddly adjusted. Shoul have to tug the actuator arm about 1-2mm over the wastegate arm where the c-clip holds it in place.

my uk turbo is boosting 0.7bar its a 97 standard car. 0.7 is the correct boost for a standard uk car i believe.
