Title: What boost are you running at stg2+
Post by: donovan2123 on December 23, 2012, 07:53:27 am

As above really. Just wanting to see what boost everyone is running.

I have seen some cars I.e revo at 1.5bar and hold that mid range also seen some at 1.2 bar.


When I try a 1.5bar map i get error sometimes which is lower boost limit somthing.

I've had Revo and GIAC on my car and both run around 1.5 bar. You may see actual values over this at peak spike around 3500rpm, but not held values.

I'm not really running 2+ exactly, but currently hitting 1.9 bar peak that tails off to 1.5 at 7k now. It's a Revo race file with a hybrid K04.

However I have another map which runs around 1.3bar just trying to see what you other ko3 guys are getting.

I mean at 1.5bar I sometimes get a po299 fault code I have changed my dv to both d and g and no difference however I have heard the seals around hoses to intercooler can leak some boost.

Revo stage 2+ on my ko3 peaks at 23psi on B9. That's probably too much for a ko3.

Thoughts??

Mine peaks off the clock, maxes out the standard map sensor using B9. Handles it fine
