SuckSqueezeBangBlow ʎǝʞuoɯ ɹoıuǝs Donating Members 1,808 Member For: 16y 8d Gender: Male Posted 06/02/12 08:43 PM Share Posted 06/02/12 08:43 PM (edited) from a tuners point of view is it safer to put more boost and less timing in?just asking because I have 272rwkw and 14psi (with walbro, 988s, cat, monza, plaz hot side and ubp). exhaust mani and turbo bolts weren't tightened though which is my fault.I have since put in a plaz cooler but haven't bothered retuning at this stage. not optimised for it but my wideband says AFRs haven't changed so meh. It is going a bit better though.Am I right in thinking with these I should be making more power with less boost?

Isn't that why its called tuning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good as he said "has the car changed or lost power after the tune" NO so he said don't worry synod are fukd for numbers and only good for tuning! But he did say send the xcal to him and he will adjust the fan settings Also he said I won't require a retune once I replace the hot side piping!!!! Might just get another check up once replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
