Title: My lost boost is back!!
Post by: Wazzzer on 09 July 2010, 22:31
Hit 21psi for the first time in a while today on the way home! Still a bit laggy but I will be changing the actuator at some point :smug:

That is all :cool:

LOL..
I aint shy when is comes to driving customers cars...  Even more so when they have ebay intercoolers fitted, everytime I can make the weak boost pipes go pop, or a weak clutch to slip or another weak part to fail.  I would rather it happen to me close to the workshop than a customer a 100+miles away from home on there return trip.    The worse thing is when the customer comes out with me on the test drive, I need to charge extra for ride. :rolleyes:    The best one is when off duty coppers come down for remaps...hehe, I always take them out for a test drive..then let them drive back :evil:

You may want a clean pair of shreddies and some Kleenex though.

I'm used to Nick's driving although the REVO'd ED30 he took me and Steve out in on Saturday didn't impress me at all  :shocked: :shocked:  I'd be well pissed off if I'd spunked £500 on that  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Is that before or after your new turbo was fitted

Take your pick  :grin: :grin: :grin:  Might even have felt faster AFTER it had blown the turbo  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The REVO map is nice and aggressive down low but the top end is just lifeless - there wasn't a big performance gap between this and Jeynesey's STANDARD ED30 that I was expecting  :undecided:

thats shocking. Revo must design there kits to give the acceleration but then die off in mid/top range.

thats more or less how it is  :laugh: thats why r-techs are configured to give the acceleration but progressively throughout the rev range with no initial spike hike and then just drop off  :wink:
