Fmic/boost Question

[sky017]

i installed my fmic a few weeks back , i was reading today about something that questioned my opinion.

my piping for the cooler didnt come with a nipple so i taped into the vacume hose off the bov and hooked it to that = now i was reading that it can cause spiking?

what exactly is happening when it spikes if it does ? and am i running a risk having it working off the bov vacume hose?

help would be appreciated thanks

what happened when i had mine setup like that, when i grabbed 4th gear accelerating hard at highway speed, it would jump up to about 14psi for just a second.

then i put the nipple off the stock piping into the pipe from the turbo to the cooler and that solved the problem.

iv been driving a lot and watching my gauge . i noticed that slowly increasin speed during boost it will reach aroun 8 psi . if im close to hitting boost and slam my foot down - she will go to 10 psi - and hold , thats my peak . mind you im running stage 1 mods - fmic , pod , turbo back exhaust - twin split dump pipe , stock boost .

im looking to get a boost controller soon . how high do you recon is safe to go on stock turbo?

11.5 or 12 you might hi (r&r) rich and reatrard mode on the ecu

next on the list turbo and ecu and fuel pump

i might go for 11 psi , i wanna get a pfc - but a bit costly atm . thats my next plan of attack ,

hahah dodgy basturd :PPPP..

um might wanna fix that up man.. um, i got the nipple out of my kit, but could proabbly just steal antoehr, and get it welded onto corner of top pipe. i got mine done at TMR engines slacks creek for 50$ they did it while i waited in about 25 mins.

theres a thread in the forum with their contact details if ur in qld.
