Boost Reading

[edmong]

Hi Guy's,

Got round to fitting my boost and oil temp gauges today, fitted the halfords ones.

My boost is peaking at 22psi and settling between 17 and 18psi. Obviously modified to my signature but is it anygood?

 

[vwbassett]

sounds ok

 

[BoomhaueR]

Sounds about right. Mine peaks at 25 and holds 19-20psi on a quite aggressive remap.

 

[edmong]

it feels ok, gonna do a tba and clean next week hopefully it'll stop the slight hesitation

my god boomhauer 25psi what remap you got mine peaks 20 to 22 holds 19ish

i want more boost.......................................

Revo..it says so in his sig

 

[Lodgey180]

i peak 25 drop to 20 very torquey

 

[craig lcr]

mines about the same peaks at 25 drops to 20

Mine peaks at 22psi drops to 20psi, above 5500rpm slowly drops to 17-18psi, But sometimes (twice so far) i see it peak at 29psi for a split second then drops to
20psi im guessing i have a remap because of high boost, only sorted the car out the other day n75 was plumbed in wrong only getting 7psi

29psi. i tink that may be way to much for a ko4? anyone agree with me?

 

[excaliber20vT]

whats the standard boost from 1.8t (non R) please

 

[Ronin225]

I think its about 8 to 10psi

mines about the same peaks at 25 drops to 20

What maps are you running? my boost levels seem low now.

 

[slim20vt]

your boost edmong1981? is very simalr to mine!!

im running a ecu evolution stage 1 map.

its suppose to give me a 35bhp ..

will see at next month RR day.. if its hasnt given me 35hp, as well as the other mods, im scrapping the remap and getting a REVO map like boomhauer...
his peaks at 25psi. shi*t hot

un-mapped, ko3, leon sport 1.8t

in 3rd gear. Peaks 23-25 depends on ambient temperature, steady around 20psi and most times 14psi at redline. BSR generic remap. Cant wait to see if 3" downpipe and 3" catback will make any difference to those numbers...
