..mine!! Dyney,Disco and myself kinda had an "issue" when fitting the Dawes device yesterday The result was 2.1bar and wheel spin in 4th at 60-odd mph
..it didnt blow up which was a billy-bonus and was stupidly quick
..now set to a more sedate 1.2 bar..
..any ideas what sort of power 2.1 bar on an MY99 UK car would be?

Image doctor:
..it did on occassions - not all the time tho
..no and no but the ambient temps were very cold and it was wet..
..you were alarmed??!! I damn near crapped meself!! and Dyney went a bit quiet too..
I am Suprised it did not over boost?
Do you have crap tyres? Was it there ice on the road?
I would be alarmed if a 4WD car was wheelspining in 4th gear!

Richard,
How long did you run it at this boost?
Did you drive down say a bypass at this boost for example or did you back off/dump the clutch as soon as you saw such high boost?

Damian - I declutched and put it into neutral and coasted into a lay-by and Dyney adjusted the dawes back, so it must have only been a second or two at that boost level..

There used to be an STi in Scotland which ran up to 2 bar of boost. Fully uprated internals, big VF15 turbo etc., but only ever ran this boost on Elf Turbo Racing Fuel. This car could also spin it's wheels in 4th gear, and was rumoured to produce about 450bhp running this sort of boost. For normal fuel/track use, about 1.3 - 1.6 bar was used.

ive got a Dawes on my car to and my fuel cut comes in about 16.5 - 17 psi which im sure is only just over a bar, so how come Richards fuel cut didnt come in on 2 bar?

did you throw your boxers away when you pulled into the layby lol. That boost would have scared me stupid.
I've had a held 20psi before (with no det ) and that was mental enough, let alone around 35psi
