Silly Boost Question

[WazR32GTSt]

i'd say there is a psychological factor in there also, troy

as in you know you are making more power with the higher boost, so you then feel that extra power that you know you can expect...

in theory, it should be exactly the same if the boost control setup is adequate

if the boost setup is poor, i can imagine a difference. eg usign a turbotech controller to control boost, with the bolt wound in you are increasing the tension on the spring, and thus helpign even more to control wastegate creep than over a spring with elss tension in the bosot controller.. but with an EBC i don't see this beign an issue...

maybe also, when the first setup reaches max boost, say 4000rpm, the torque rate isn't increasing (torque remains constant), and at this point the torque fells like it drops off, when in fact it just remains steady.. rather than with the higher boost setting, where you make an extra 7 psi on tiop of that, and you reach max boost at 5000rpm, you have an extra 1000rpm of increasing torque before it levels off, so it actually feels more torquey but its really because it keeps on going when you expect it to?

i don't know, just trying to reason it out..

try not to think too much into it, it makes neurons swell and die

cheers,
