Capa Flash Tuner And Turbo Boost Protection

[macca2042]

hi, I am wondering if you can over ride the boost protection stuff on the turbo's without a custom tune? I have the understanding that the turbo computer shuts off excess power increases if it notices anything different.. I also saw it on the dyno last week. but I want to know if it can be over ridden without forking out heaps on a tune. I wanna muck around with a cold air intake, exhaust and intercooler mods before I get a tune if possible.

thanks guys

if it were possible id assume ud only be able to get a couple of psi higher before some sort of boost cut kicked in, best off leaveing it till you can afford it, these cars seam to be hitt and miss when you start playing with them, unlike an older turbo car like my rex I put a massive fmic, big exhaust and pumped 16psi thru it with no tuneing, didnt get it on the dyno for a year AFR's were fine, xr6t's are alot more advanced and more computer controlled

I dont plan on screwin up boost as such, just mainly to view what different mods achieve instead of gettin it all done at once if you get what I mean

bits n pieces approach will require a re-tune each time. This costs

Unfortunetly these arent as simple as the older style cars. Everything is controlled via the PCM. To be honest it will work out cheaper to get it tuned properly the first time, than playing around with stuff and then having to fix it.

well im gettin a flash tuner hopefully tomoz or monday for a good price so a generic tune may do for now until tax comes hehe

at least get it on a Dyno to make sure it's safe. $50 ought to do it
