Boost
« 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
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside 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.
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)

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
