"Never Boosted"?

[saff_cossie]

Guys and Girls

What does "Never Boosted" mean over here? Boost to me means using boost i.e on the turbo?

Or is some sort of aftermarket tuning possibility?

I am seeing a few car ads with this in.

Thanks in advance

From what i know it means never been taken past the stock boost level of the car from the factory.

I think?

[Interloper]

i think it means "never boosted over stock" or "never boosted hard/overstock"

my 2c.

it's a big load of crap, that's what it is..

funniest thing ever was reading that in a post for a skyline advertised on another forum, and yet he was on here bragging how his skyline had 190rwkw just a few weeks before.. When I asked him how he had 190rwkw when they are about 110rwkw from factory without raising the boost or having modified it he wasn't too happy

yes, well take statements like that with a grain of salt. you need to look at the car yourself to figure out if the engine/turbo's in good shape or not.

generally, if the car is stock standard (stock airbox/exahust) it's 90% likely it hasn't had the boost increased (though they could have removed mods), but that doesn't mean the owner hasn't driven the car hard. Mods such as front mount cooler, aftermarket turbo, bleed valve(duh), large number of performance mods are indications that the boost has been increased at some point.

a compression test might also reveal if it's been boosted

no1 buys a turbo and drives it like a grandma all the time, you have to expect that the car will have been abused from time to time (compared to the stocko family car)

I can safely say my car was never boosted ever... not even stock

[saff_cossie]

Thanks guys!

So general consensus is, increased from stock level.

Many thanks for all the responses.

you can also have

"never been gated"

when people ask what that is, you just tell em... you'll know it when you have been

lol! I have typed three possible answers and in the interests of keeping some form of "cred" I havent posted them!

[BaysideBlue]

from my understanding, it could mean no engine mods apart from minor performance mods like a cat back or/and filter?

[predator]

Could mean anything, could also mean "never been boosted" but also likewise could mean "never been serviced". I think I know what would be worse!

Agreed!

Cant people just be honest? Don they realise that there are poeple out there that will catch them out, thus lessening their chances of selling the car?

[funkymonkey]

maybe its an N/A?

[32brother]

I would agree with the other few people,

Not boosted over stock poundage..
