lilhaulerz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 are you sure 8.5bar ? lolz.. 1 bar =15psi , so 8.5bar is ALOT !!!! If you were running 8.5bar your turbo be gone pretty much in 2 secs flat... and denn your motor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210430-max-boost-for-stock-turbo/#findComment-3721540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-_-StRyDeR-_- Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 he probably set yours to 8.5PSI, not BAR. and yeh as stated, i wouldnt go over 12psi.

The Mafia Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 what mods? Stock SMIC can't do anything over about 9-10psi Factory ECU can't handle anything over 10-11psi Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210430-max-boost-for-stock-turbo/#findComment-3721563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 i brought it to the tuners too the other day. outcome was around 280rwhp. is the avcr setting bar or psi? cos it states 0.85 on the A setting and 0.95 on B setting. basic mods = straight thru exhaust from turbo, fmic, avcr, safc2, pod filter i think tats all.

so_tred Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I would only run 10psi if you don't want any chance of the turbo dying, if you don't mind replacing it then run more Edited March 15, 2008 by so_tred Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210430-max-boost-for-stock-turbo/#findComment-3722305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justa32 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 dont b weak just run 14psi, i ran 14psi on my old r32 turbo for nearly 2 years and it didnt die and i drove like a mad man.. the turbo was designed for 17.5psi max output but thats just stupid to run that much through it as the wheel would shatter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210430-max-boost-for-stock-turbo/#findComment-3722320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
