AGU K03s Conversion Advice
« on: 11 November 2009, 21:19 »
Does anyone on here have the AGU and Rtech stage2 map and boost gauge?

Can you do a few runs and tell me what boost you hit in 2nd/3rd/4th and 5th gear? Also does yours spike and settle(what psi?) and what are you running at redline? You might not want to try 4th and 5th redline on the public highway :evil:

Looking forward to the results,so i can start eliminating things.

Trying to get an idea if mine is running correctly,on my way home from r-tech i could get 21psi on the gauge(2nd gear),now i'm lucky to get 17psi and wondering what over peoples car of the same spec boost at.

interesting you should ask this actually mate...

I've just refitted my C valve as since I had the clutch done I've thought something was amiss as I could do the same as you, 20psi ish dropping to 18psi ish. I fitted the F at the same time I had the clutch done and ever since then it's only hit 16psi and had lost the warp factor 9 feel I liked.

I still think the C valve I have is faulty though as it seemed to stall on a 2nd gear run earlier but it seemed like I was holding 20psi when I glanced down at the gauge in 3rd!

So in a nutshell the F doesn't suit my map for some reason so I'll have to find another C from somewhere...

Don;t know if it helps,

but my AUM hits 17psi and either stays there, or rolls back to about 15PSI. Running yellow spring and N75 F. Or it sometimes hits 15PSI and stay there...

Although waiting for a really dry day to test it...I may get some video filmed.
