Should I Be Happy?

[Boost Boy]

A couple of weeks ago I got my mods done these being Bosch hi flow injectors, 3.5 inch stainless exhaust, ram pod and edit. Stock it made 180rwkw(tad over 7000kms). With the mods but no edit it made 220rwkw and with the edit she got up to 263rwkw running 10psi boost. I'm stoked with it so far and now It's a totally different car compared to stock. Maybe I was being unrealistic for hoping for 300rwkw with only those mods. Please can someone give me some constructive feedback.

if I were you , I would be happy.263rwks

You would want a fuel pump to be going past 260rwkw or you will be asking for trouble.

It seems like a good figure.

that's good figure, be content with what you have (ITS HARD I know) ... then go get a fuel pump and go apesh*t with coolers ect ect....

Fuel pump then valve springs then intercooler it will never end... but you will have a massive smile on your face...

Regardless of the max rwkw I would want a fatter curve I.e more low - midrange grunt. Might need to up the boost a little down low but it will make for quicker and better driving experience.

If it's an auto you should be looking @ a cooler particularly if you crank up the low - midrange torque.

Have a chat to your Tuner and enjoy the new found power in the meantime

all u need as said is an intercooler.

the stocker is a bit of a blockage in the system.

that power at 10 psi is on par with what u should get.

if u get a cooler your tuner will give u more boost=more power.

Geez these cars all respond really different to edit.

Im making just over 260rwkw with CAI and edit. on a 04 T, tuner said I could get more out of it with bigger injectors, Like you im missing mid range power though. Get a cooler and re tune

[jetute]

260 rwkw seems a bit low to me.. theres guys getting that with standard injectors... infact with standard everything.

I would of been expecting between 280-290 rwkw... just MO though

enjoy the new found power though

Geez, Jordak is starting to sound like he knows what he's talking about

It feels doughy because it takes forever for your power to come up.

I feel your tuner had both:

a.) some boost control issues

b.) Some fuel control issues.

You see where the curve starts to come up then takes a dive => bad.

Also, at the same point he has issues controlling a nice afr curve. It starts off all wobbly legged, then gets a little shape to it after a few revs..

For mine, I would want more grunt down low - ( Where you use it )

Peak power figure is not here nor there, who cares what it makes peak, but it needs to be a flatter curve, with a better AVERAGE power figure.

This is totally achievable from any tuner who is any good, regardless of your choice of hardware. Don't anyone give me this boost down low kills engines bollox, it's 10-12 freaking PSI for cripes sake, it aint gonna kill anything!

Choosing hardware is the simplest job, choosing a tuner who will give you happy motoring long after the initial power hit has worn off is alot harder..

You have to live with the way your car drives every day..

I've had tunes make more power than others and be worse to drive around town, to the point I didn't like my car!!!

You know when you really have to 'drive' a car to get it going?? It should be effortless, regardless of how much grunt you have.

Take it back for a tweak up if you're not quite happy, most tuners will be obliging enough
