So it wont go above a bar boost without me further increasing the fuel???
exactly that. my brothers astra was only boosting half a bar today until we turned up the fuel by half a turn and its now got a bar of boost. we would of gone further but it blew off a hose
I hear you.
Time to get the screwdriver out again then
good lad ;)
also limiting how much its boosting via the fuel aint cool, infact it'll make it run hotter than it should
diesels gonna get yet, but i remember you saying theres no point in tuning one, let alone owning one lol
lol
Im quite impressed by it tbh!!!!
So much quicker than it is as standard, even with just a bar.
The only downside is the brakes take a right hammering!
I got brake fade on some b-roads the other night, i guess the solid 236s stopping an astra from about 70+ ;) a couple of times, down to 30, dont cut it. Could smell them burning lol, and seriously didnt expect to slow enough to take the corner!!!
just need the N/A manifold now adam
