Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 9m 4d Gender: Male Posted 24/02/12 10:01 AM Share Posted 24/02/12 10:01 AM Hey guys my ba xr6t was tuned with a avo cooler and rapid under battery intake!Tuned to 306rwkw with 15psiNow I replaced the cooler for a rapid cooler and the ubp with just a pod of the turbo Now after going for a drive it spikes to 20+psi!Would this be because of the new cooler or pod intake? Really annoying if I need a new tune just had one :( should have waitted!

If I go back to a ubp would it reduce the boost issue?

As long as that ain't restrictive!I ain't going to hammer it while it's spiking but I will have to drive it 500klms for a retune! WouldThe retune be quicker-cheaper then the first or is the same amount of time and effort needed?
