In order to get that level of boost, you'll have to have a piggy back computer (ancient tech) or an EDIT flash tuner but yes, the computer should be able to control that boost fairly easily. Other parts may not be able to though.I was referring to the 6 spd manuals. So 15 psi is satisfactory for the engine and should give you good power increase. So a piggy back system is required? After reading around a bit, I found out that you need an after market cooler for anything over stock boost. I'd imagine that a bigger zaust system is required.What ECU.. ahh never mind I'll go take a look in electronics section. =) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41436-how-much-boost/page/2/#findComment-624220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newl Guests Posted 23/01/08 06:42 AM Share Posted 23/01/08 06:42 AM Either a piggy back or a flash tuner (SCT CAPA Edit or one of the new Sniper flash tuners) are required, yes. If you don't have one of these and you crank up the boost, the computer will force things into limp mode for safety.
