Title: Boost
Post by: Dalo Harkin on 12 July 2012, 07:50

how much boost should I be getting?
currently spikes to around 1.1 BAR (roughly 16psi) and then slowly tails off.....

This is only a K03 though

Never boosted that high - weak actuator?
I definatley dont have any leaks, no where for it to leak from as ALL been replaced with silicone recently or deleted

Mine doesnt unless the engine is under load,
For example flat road in 1st and 2nd would peak around 12-14psi but on a nice hill would peak 16-18psi.
3rd and 4th would peak around the 16-18psi most the time to be honest.

That sounds a bit more realistic, I am also measuring from when on boost as in 0
idle mine is -8psi, boost is as said above

Mine with a stage 1 map peaks @ 18psi and drops back to around 16psi.

At idle mine is on 18-20 but that is at the bottom of the boost gauge, if you know what I mean. Not sure if that bit is measured in psi though

mine goes like this from bottom to top
-18 -16 -14 -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 - 2  0 +2 +4 +6 +8 +10 (1 bar) +12 +14 +16 +18

so at idle its -8 and peaks to around +12 - +14

-8 at idle mine is -20 at idle  :undecided:
