Power For Mods?

[bradles024]

I know this is a fairly stupid question but just want to know. BA 04 Typhoon with following mods:

plazmaman cooler, x-force exhaust (4 inch dump, 5 inch cat, twin 2.5), new injectors, nizpro custom edit

307rwkw a realistic figure for 17psi? Is that a safe amount of boost to be running daily?

[RAP1D]

Depends on who tunes it and if the dyno reads high, low ect... but 17psi should always get more than 307wkws

17psi is also pushing the reliabillity factor for an 04 motor.

[bradles024]

Apparently it was tuned by nizpro.. Might have another chat to the guy, I thought 17psi was pushing a bit far to be running all the time.

[bradles024]

I think the cooler piping might be a bit of a restriction as it still uses the standard crossover piping.

[The_Bogan]

maybe it needs the exhaust housing modified and an actuator fitted to get the boost out of it.

once boost can be controlled then more timing can be added and you should make a little bit more power.

ok sounds good might take it back to nizpro and speak to them. Maybe its not running that much boost im not 100%, is there an easy way to find out ?

lol ok, I don't pick the car up until tomorrow, don't know much about these have always had Expensive Daewoo aspirated 8s.

After looking around, it seems like it's running something more like 12PSI in comparison to other people's power figures.
