i got the boost set at 16psi.. but wondered how much further i can go before i start damaging somet?

 

Mine popped a turbo hose off and it took an engineer from Subaru to reset my ECU, but that was a long time ago, back in the 90's

Ask Ellie @ AET-Turbos ???

She will sell you a new one when it goes bang....

Seriously, DON'T mess unless you can afford a new engine....

Try S'net for the wisdom of many. Somebody will have gone too far and be able to warn you.

Dunx has given you some sound advise, there are many variables that can contribute to your turbo going bang so its not that simple and also remember that the turbo manufacturers design the turbos to create the power requested of a standard engine so what we get out of them above that needs to be classed as a bonus.

hence the rolling road session! i got a boost controlling doofer in the car but i put tape over it so i dont mess!!!

 

Weve got the eboost 2 in ours and you cant help but to occasionally have a blast with it

Its great to feel that extra surge of power when youve got used to it on level 1 and feel like a change

 

i ant got owt fancy in mine! just a tap! u turn it one way or the other, and a boost gauge. future mod will be an eletronic boost controller... whats a turbo timer??

 

Its an electronic devise to help preserve your turbo if youve been caning your car and you forget to let the engine idle a bit before you switch off.

 

oh i need one of them! how reliable are the scoobs..? i'm used to driving fords, and know they can take a good thrashing from time to time...

 

In my own opinion they are as reliable as their owners as with most things

 

Not too strict a rule-of-thumb, as my car has (so far) proven very reliable...




BTW, I'll be down later with the remainder of your sticker order. Get the kettle on, get the biccies out, and get ready to see me, 'cos I aint leaving them with anyone else after last time

 

just spoken to andy taylor at AET... very very helpful indeed... get these next couple of weeks out of the way and then the cars gonna get dyno'd

 

No probs, we are here today and the biscuit tin is full!

 

Hmmm

P.S. Only joking !
