BigDirtyJase Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well you'll be needing a boost tee (urgh!) or a boost controller (yay) to increase boost...I would say safely you can boost it up to 10 psi on stardard equipment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/323343-increasing-my-psi/#findComment-5271202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzysiu Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yeap 10psi go on eBay and type in turbotech and buy it. Think it's $30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/323343-increasing-my-psi/#findComment-5271217 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VSPECT Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 seen few guys boosting it up to 12psi but would advise it...10psi is safe but can put it to 12 for bit of booting....

VSPECT Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 dont like manual boost controllers....cant tell what your boosting up to until you try it out...recomend proper digital boost controllers....

Birds Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Manual Boost Controller = Boost Tee = Bleed Valve. If you're going to buy one, get the one Kris recommended: Turbotech. Cheap and very reliable. dont like manual boost controllers....cant tell what your boosting up to until you try it out...recomend proper digital boost controllers.... That's why you start off with it in the factory setting and adjust incrementally, as opposed to just winding it up and letting loose. Will take about 5 adjustments to get it perfect. Turbotech manual boost controllers are fantastic, never had one spike on me, ever.

Birds Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Here's an idea: buy a $50 boost gauge and save blowing your turbo I would never install a boost controller, even electronic, on a car without using a boost gauge.

perzn_34 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 if u run a am turbo but stock other parts except exhaust from the front pipe to the tip, would 14psi hurt?

vspecIInur Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm pretty sure if you run am turbo, be prepared to upgrade a lot of things otherwise your standard setup is not going to last long. Most the time its recommended getting a tune done after certain mods. It also depends what power range for a particular turbo. Increasing boost means your fuel:air ratio changes dramatically with the potential of running way too lean.

russ123 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 if u run a am turbo but stock other parts except exhaust from the front pipe to the tip, would 14psi hurt? i still had stock turbo but was running 14 psi with profec 2 boost controller,exhaust,pod filter,front mount and bov and kept getting fuel cuts,pump or injectors weren't keeping up foot flat and was like speed limiter was kicking in at 70-80 k's (well mechenic told me it was fuel system anyway) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/323343-increasing-my-psi/#findComment-5315689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter89 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 if u run a am turbo but stock other parts except exhaust from the front pipe to the tip, would 14psi hurt? yep. you'd be leaning out and even more so with the aftermarket turbo. would require fuel pump and retune. there's only so much equipment is designed for, fuel maps aren't designed for large turbos @ 1bar thus lack of fuel = lean.
