When i got my car serviced, oil, fuel, air filters, oil. plugs regapped to 0.8mm, also got a 2 stage turbosmart boost controller put in.

I have stock, IC, injectors and comp at the moment.

I wanted the boost set at 9 psi low and 14psi high, but i could only put the high setting on 12 psi because it was pinging.

I will be getting a S-AFC soon, so i wanted to know if when i get the S-AFC and get it tuned could i run 14 psi on high boost or whould it still ping coz of the stock IC??

Also whats the setting on their to stop the car stalling coz i got a Blitz Atmo BOV which is a pain in the arse to drive with in heavy traffic.

Also i got 150kw@wheels with 12 psi boost, pod filter and 3inch full exhaust, what can i expect to get with the s-afc tuned?

Okay...I'm no mechanic, but there seems to be alot of this at the moment. My guess would be the cold weather coming in, as boost tends to rise a little with cold air. And if you right on 12psi it wouldn't take much to exceed the computers restrictor.

A boost controler would usually be placed inbetween the intake and the wastegate actuator...I mean the line which runs to the boost solnoid which gives the boost signal to the computer (?)... I know mine cough and got upset until I removed the line....it seemed to boost heaps better and went to 13 instead of 12 and coughing.

Again...Don't take this as word of law.

    • Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 🙄
    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
