hey guys

newbie here.... tried searching.... when i need info it doesnt comes up, when i don need it, its everywhere.

i just had my car fitted with avcr+safc2. was tuned and producing 280rwhp at the moment.

avcr was set at 0.7bar and 1bar. the tuner says that there is only 8hp difference between the low n high boost.... he also added tat the high boost comes in quicker than the low boost. he says its safe to have it at 1bar.

current mods are:

pod filter

straight thru exhaust

splitfire coilpacks

FMIC....

the rest are stock.

i have read some threads stating that 1 bar(14.5psi) is the max boost the stock turbo can handle. izit safe driving on 1bar everyday??

another question: can i change the boost levels between low n high after the tune? does it affect the tuning?

No, its not safe, and if it only makes 8hp extra, why risk it. The only reason that it would make such a small difference in hp is because of the lack of tunability with the safc

yeah i think i will set it to low boost for now....

tats y i am confused.... the mechanic who installed the avcr and the tuner says its ok to have it at 1bar everyday.....

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
