Hi
So I bought a liquid gauge for my LCR recently. Good piece of kit all round.
I've not done dyno runs yet but I've checked boost and BHP.
Boost as I've found out is ok. Up to 14 psi.
On the BHP side of things it's pretty low.
Seems to top out at 221
What would be the most likely reasons for this.
Dirty MAF?
Or is it the fact that having added aTIP, cone filter and heat shield along with a turbo back exhaust, the air flow has changed so much it now needs retuning to take these elements into account?
I was hoping for a gain on standard. Not a loss. So pretty deflated at present.
I know the turbo is not in the best condition, with play in the back and knocked blades on the front.
It still boosts ok but could this be part of the equation?
Any help would be golden. Cheers.
