What boost should I be running?

[Gooner_Mike]

Simple quicky question... what boost (Psi) should I be running in my standard 20VT FR? I reckon I am getting about 12psi max and settling at 9psi at the moment (with my flash new boost gauge!) What should it idle at?

 

[Ric 2001]

Idle should be 0 or in vac about 2psi ish

i got a standerd fr but mines got n249bypass n12bypass and that pump thing bypassed i all so got tip and dv and othere than that standerd no map and i am runing 11psi then it tails back to 9psi

or 12ish

i asked my local seat garage as the bloke in there has a mk3 with stupid power and he said it should go up to about 10 or 11 the drop to around 7 psi..

When I was standard I was running 12-12 pis and holding 10psi, Mike.

isnt yours a cupra though???

Same turbo though (KO3s)... just FMIC and slightly different map I believe. Bigger injectors? Not sure...

 

[Damoegan]

Same injectors, Mike.

So what does your boost gauge read then?

So is it just the FMIC and map thats different then? Showing approx peak at 12psi and settles back to 9/10 PSI.

Sorry to interrupt but at what rev range is peak boost?

About 2.5k to 3.5k I guess. Can't really tell as you need to drive, look at boost and revs at the same time... and I wouldn't do that!!

Hehe sorry the reason I ask is because I think I have a boost leak and its generally between 3000-4000k massive hesitation and stutters when my foots to the floor.

Was going to buy a boost guage but I dont have one yet

I think they are a good idea just to keep an eye on things like boost leaks or a drop in boost for some reason... plus they look quite good.

Yep, FMIC and map thet is different.

So if your at the same boost as a standard cupra the difference in the map must be the timing advance then...

So a remapped FR with FMIC will have the same BHP as a Cupra with the same remap then?

Even without a fmic you should still get near enough the same sumbers for a stage 1 map.

That was quick Damo. You must be like me... laptop on all the time while watching TV and check it regularly for new posts! I want a remap...
