Boost

[mark_20vt]

What sort of boost are people running? on a cold day with mine on high on sps3 boost gauge hits 20psi. Just wanted to know what every1 else is runnin at

 

[PhilW]

Just under 23psi here on peak.

 

[claudefrog]

i can see close to 25 in 4th and 5th gear under high load

i can see close to 25 in 4th and 5th gear under high load

wish i could!

 

[claudefrog]

wish i could!

i dont particulary like it.. im sure the turbo is running out of efficeny at that pressure, just heating the air too much for my liking... plus its likely to kill the turbo oil seals if kept running like that.

going to try reduce the boost pressure a little using lemiwinks.. if not will have to get my hands on sps to do it

 

[ibiza-cupra]

strange how you run that kind of boost with the stg1 map,i see aroung 21 peak in a high gear

 

[claudefrog]

settings are 7boost and 7 timing... think slightly too high

will try to get a vid of it tomorrow evening

 

[ibiza-cupra]

ah didnt realise you had sps silly me,mmm think i may invest

 

[Ninja]

just hits 23 here but stays there for a while

 

[carlisle pete]

mine hits around 1.5 bar at peak! not sure wat that is in psi!

 

[flashbsd]

23/24psi here, holds at 21 now for quite a long time!about 16/17psi at 6konwards. not too bad

 

[David_smith_909]

mines only a k03

peaks @ 20 then holds @ 17 until about 5.5/6k then tails off

 

[CupraTgirl]

7 psi for me but i dont have a boost gauge yet so cant tell you for how long or if it goes lower/higher than that

Oh and before you ask, its standard

 

[CupraPower]

Peaks about 23psi and holds nicely. Downpipe is a must for you ibiza-cupra!

 

[Martin CUK]

About 22psi usually at peak on k03, in 5th gear can peak 25/26psi under load!

I really need a K03S, wish it could hold the boost.

 

[sloppycupra]

mine peaks at about 20 psi on boost gauge! drops of to about 14 psi tho, and i am running ko3s, this sound about right!

 

[mark_20vt]

glad to here people are running round the same as i had nothing to compare it to... was starting to worry mine was quite high and didn't want to run risk of damagin it runnin it too high...

 

[Essex_Cupra]

Mine seems to go up to about 21-22 then drop off to 18psi very quickly this is with ko3s turbo, forge intercooler,TIP,revo stage 2 and miltek d/p race cat etc.. etc..

I preffered my car in honesty with the standard d/p and cat the turbo noise was amazing!

 

[karl.w]

mine peaks about 23/24psi then holds 20/21psi for a good bit

 

[motty_90]

Mine peaks on a k03 around 24psi and falls down to around 17psi on a revo stage 2 thats under load
