boost pressures.

x5carl3tMurd3rx · Jun 9, 2011

well I have an upcoming tuning appt. and I'm torn on what I should run for boost pressures. its built to handle 15 all day everyday. but I don't know if I should tune it for wastegate pressure (10psi) or just run the 15psi right off the bat. I really wanna run 15 and make the full power that I planned for, but I'm not sure if I'd be risking anything since this motor and turbo have never seen boost. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go big or go home, like a boss

but if it was me and my car, engine, turbo (aka MONEY) then i would be scared ****less

start low and then build up

run 12psi, drive on that for a while, then go back to make it more.

oh I mean when its tuned I'll start at 10 and then we'll push it up to 15. but I'm debating if I should tune it for 10 call it a day. and then in like 10k miles retune it for 15. I dunno what to doooooooOo!!!!!!!!! lol I really wanna make crazy power but I don't wanna blow her up. :sad:

plus at $450 a tune if I can run 15 now and not have to pay for a retune later that'd be sweet.

Go 12, that way u right in the middle of safe and what it's built for

Ask the tuner whats best....

if its built for 15, run 15. **** breaking it in, bawls, to the wall

x5carl3tMurd3rx · Jun 10, 2011

so after speaking with devin and my tuner I'm most likely gonna run 15psi. :ohsnap:

Niice! Also you may want to hit up Erik123456789, he's also the man when it comes to high boost on F23 blocks. If it were me I'd do 12psi, but 15 should be fine if everything is built to handle it. Good luck bro, can't wait to see the results!
