Help Me Up The Boooosst

[angusis2fast4u]

I recently purchased a 92 R32 GTS-t and have spent some money cleaning it up. Now i am keen to add a bit more power to it but i have a few questions since the car has a few aftermarket bits which i'm not 100% sure on just yet as I am new to turbos. So the car has Power FC, RB25 Turbo with 360 degree thrust bearing, Split Fire Coil Packs, 550 cc Deatschwerks Injectors, Stainless Braided Oil Water and Break Lines with Speed Flow fittings , Front mount Intercooler, HKS Turbo Timer with auto meter boost gauge. The previous owner had the boost put up to 13psi and tuned but then took out the manual boost controller (So is that running wastegate pressure?) and had it retuned for 8psi.

Okay so now my questions.

So if I wanted to up the boost would I be able to reinstall the manual boost controller and put it up? (How do I know how much is too much boost when turning it up?)

OR

Would I need to take it in to get retuned before I touch any boost levels?

Also what is a "HKS Turbo timer with AUTO METER BOOST GAUGE" I know what the turbo timer is but what's the auto meter boost gauge?

Thanks for helping me learn guys

Get a boost controller then a retune. Upping boost on its own will throw out afr's and could cause more headaches then its worth.

If you do decide to get a boost controller, limit yourself to 10-12psi to keep it safe. Then get it tuned if you want more.

This is an Auto Meter Boost Gauge.

So Auto meter is just a brand as such? Yes i have that boost gauge in the car still, I think I might reinstall the boost controller (it's just sitting in the glovebox at the moment haha) and only go up a little bit just to be safe

Yep, Auto Meter is just a brand of Gauges. ^That's the exact one I run in my car.

You should be fine to wack the boost controller back in. Just make sure you stick it in the right hose and keep an eye on how much pressure it's making.
