It's always good to let someone who plays with these every day to have a look.Just to make sure all is well and your not gonna be spending a fortune on a rebuild. Just to be safe, maybe take it easy till that happens ay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as we usually deal in PSI above atmospheric pressure. I'm figuring this from the tip of converting boost from XCal logs - MAP and BAP - manifold absolute pressure and barometric absolute pressure. MAP minus BAP, then divided by 2.04 = PSI for my pretty graphs in excel.So 1 bar (1.01325 bar according to my converter app) is one atmosphere , aka 14.5 PSI?180 -100 = 80kPa above atmosphere, giving us 11.6PSI??Probably some bad maths in there somewhere but we'll see. 11.6 seems low! hahaha.

Take it for a trip down to Mick and just see if all is well.Either way, it can't hurt, and it MAY save you thousands !!Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
