Mods! What Boost?

[purezx]

Hey wagon lovers!!

Got a quick couple of questions! Just spend couple grand on me wagon getting her looking nice and running a bit faster! So mods I have done are pod, front mount, 3" dump with no cat on varex muffler control (I know pretty extreme) but sounds intense. Just wondering what boost I should be running through it? Or is standard high enough already! Why power figures should I be looking at pulling feels like around 200awkw?

What other good and sensible mods can I do to achieve a little more power, not to crazy as it is daily driven already finished interior with full splits, subs, tv in it and jvc DVD player reverse camera etc.... Open to ideas guys

What power should I be making?

What boost should I run? (M35 250t)?

What other mods can I make?

P.s not looking at making it a track weapon either lol

With a high flow panel filter, dump and exhaust, I was making 166kW atw. Pod filter won't make much difference on standard ECU and suction pipe, so you'd be about there. Not sure if the intercooler will make any difference in these?

After I did all that, I was also making 15PSI. If yours is a 250t RS Four (which is what I've got), I think you're at 12PSI stock, and if you've got a decent dump and exhaust you'd probably be making 14-15PSI.

I'm leaving mine at 15 until I'm ready to upgrade the turbo. Scotty has run his on a standard turbo at 20PSI.

There are a lot of other mods you can make, depends on what you want to do, what you want out of the car, and how much money you've got. Do a search and you'll find a lot of info.

What will stop you initially is the stock ecu, we are still searching for a suitable way to adjust it and have to make do with the Emanage Ultimate at the moment. It will allow you to clamp the AFM voltage to get around the airflow cut and change mixtures, timing and injector sizes. Without this you will be limited to around the power Ryan is at.

The stock turbo will do 180kw on stock boost and perhaps 200kw at 20psi but may not last long with the ceramic rear wheel. I ran mine up to 226kw on eflex.

just look at peoples signature there u'll usually find the mods they have done

here's my list: Power Duct and BMC Airfilter, Scotty's Dump Pipe, Fully Custom 3" Stainless Steel Xforce Exhaust, Phenolic Intake Spacer, BC Coilovers, Transgo Shift Kit, B&M Transcooler, HDi Intercooler and sittiing on some 20" Advanti Desires.

basially im getting about 15-16PSI as low as 2500rpm at a guess i would have thought power was around 160KwAW so its good to see BigKev's stats as it makes me think i might be closer to 170KW

here's a list i stole off Jetwreck (craig) a while ago................
