007p Will I be ok using a YELLOW spring in my car?

[Mo Arif]

As above mods as follows:

3" downpipe
2.5" decat
2.5" full system
Apexi Open Cone Induction
3" cold air feed
Forge 007p Yellow Spring
Stage 1 remap

I bought a Forge 007p DV, I bought it with a YELLOW spring as eventually I will be doing a Stage 2 map, my question is, will I have problems using the YELLOW spring in the mean time with the above mods? The YELLOW spring is described as Stage 2 / Higher boost settings, my car's Stage 1 is pretty aggressive

Thats what I use in mine, it'll be fine

what do you boost at?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I ran 1.5bar on a yellow spring.

 

[Pyro]

as long as your not boostin to low or it wont open properly

is the green spring the standard one?, im still running ny green spring even after a stage one Revo and it seems ok. should i upgrade?

Green standard should be ok on stage1 although you could try a yellow as the Revo is quite aggressive.

im boosting up at around 1.4 to 1.5 bar i think

Thats a lot of boost for a stage1 map.

i think it is , i did measure it with my liquid gauge but maybe im wrong, i think i worked it out to be 19 psi, just gonna check what that is in bars now lol. 14 psi= 1 bar , right?

edit........ 1.3 bar

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

14.7psi I think so 1.5bar is roughly 22-23psi

no deffo not that high lol

 

[Pyro]

wats 18 psi?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

no deffo not that high lol

I didn't think so

My stage2 used to spike 24psi and hold about 14-15psi at 5500rpm

running about same, peaks at 19.1 drops to 15.6,

To low for your stage2 map

Its Revo tho so adjustable.

 

[oldskool]

steely you using a green spring? not that it matters i suppose cos its not really high boost as such what im running

 

[Pyro]

i nkow its to low hettin sps3 switch thursday tho

 

[oldskool]

with ref to the liquid gauge, its measuring before the map was 188bhp, after it measured at 201 bhp, although that was on the way home from the mappers, maybe it will go up in time as the ecu adapts?

no im running a yellow spring but with the dv in reverse, its spot on for what im running, i found on remap the green actually dropped too much bost between changes, the yellow spring reduced lag,
