Get the car tonight, counting down the time. lol

Anyway he has the car set on 0.9 boost how much should or can u run day to day? how much is to much? can it go any higher? or wot?

That will be .9 Bar which is about 12-13psi! and on a stock turbo you could prob run a little more but, would prob leave it at that!

a mate of mine told me 1.0 bar is about right should i change it or jus leave it? how do u work out how much psi it is? is there a formula or something?

bar x 14.503861 = psi

so 1 bar would be 14.503861 psi

if you're running a stock turbo, i'd be careful about running 14.5 psi.

i'd be leaning more towards 12psi as a max, or even 10psi as a safer level.

depends on your setup of course.

Its been tuned at that boost level so leave it. :(

It might be a good idea to throw it on the dyno for a quick power run 'just' to make sure everything is in good working order.

AFR's are nice and not pinging.

Blackwood auto & dyno used to do power runs for $30, cheapest around by far. Other than that take it back to shaun/Boostworx as he knows the car I would presume. :(

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
