is it even posiible??
all i got on my turbo 2 is a bonez intake... apex n1 catback... greddy type rs bov...
i was about 55oo rpm in fifth gear ona highwat coming back from powerhouse tunning wen i take a look at my boost gauge n it reads 14 lbs
is this overboost or is it that my gauge is messed up or... its just a miricle motor??
and if my car is in fact running 14 lbs... im still running it lean... so do i need a ecu or wut?? aight thnx alott

dizflyaznboi

yes your car is running at 14 pounds, your getting dirty boost creep, you need to upgrade your injectors, and either get a standalone, or a SAFC but i recommend a standalone, because you can keep it for the life of your car, and program just about everything.

my stocker does it, but then again my car is alot more modded than urs, of course ur stocker wont last very long boostin 14lbs tho

Rotary_Rocket_87

I would check your guage. I have similar mods (except the BOV) and I only see 9-10 lbs max on my 87 T2. Who knows, maybe there is something in your car you don't know about.

hey thnx for the info guys
yeah my boys all told me teg a upgraded ecu n aftermarket fuel pump to stop running lean n too run safe n rich n umm my freind is sellin me this umm n332 ecu tuned by i think digitech should i get it for my s4 motor??

Dom_C

what version. the 1.5 or 1.7, If it's the 1.7 you need to get bigger secondary injectors as well which I would definetly recomend if you are running that kind of boost. What you really need to do is port your wastegate, then if you want to turn the boost up get a boost controler. If you keep it up at 14psi stock turbo, stock fuel pump, stock injectors you are going to blow your motor.

speed_monkey

I hope you plan on doing some supporting mods as well...

I am running at 14lbs as well, ever since the cold air stopped by, i have a stock s5 turbo with a few more mods than you but i am running it rich on the walbro fuel pump. i like the extra rwhp.

I don't have any aftermarket computers or safc but i have experienced boost creep well past 14psi, it almost feels like the clutch is slipping because the power is not getting to the ground. kinda scary, it is then that you get off the throttle real quick before something bad happens.

These cars are not "stock"

RETed

If it's an Autometer boost gauge, it's not accurate.

I run 14psi all the time.
It's not that big of a deal.
The stock turbo isn't that efficient at that high boost though...

Secondmessiah

please tell me that you werent looking at the stock guage, it reads in mm of Mg, not lbs

sorry to insult your intelligence, but i had to cover that base

No_Rotor_RX7

this is what happens @ 14psi and no supporting mods. i got my fc cheap because of this

HAILERS

No. YOU need to upgrade your brakes and stop drag racing down Main street.

wankelme!

if you don,t have a boost controller and you're boosting that much you should probable check the wastegate is actuating...maybe the line from turbo to actuator is off/leaking?

i have the auto meter boost guage

wankelme!

not guage...controller...device which controls point at which the wastegate opens...

wankelme!

ok...hopefully by then you won't have overboosted your apex seals off and detonated to death!!
