Gerry Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Many thanks to Mark at Poenix and Matt Harwwod who BPU'd me last week. Picked the car up yesterday and had a great trip home Feels just like the last one now. It's boosting to just over 1 BAR - now to decide on a Boost Controller to pop it up to 1.2 for them moments when you like just a bit more Fitted: Whifbits de-cat pipes + R/R Denso IK22 Thor FCD Walbro fuel pump Blitz MD boost gauge plus: Levoc gear shift Goodrich brake lines Already have RSR zaust & Thor DSC TSD Question... How accurate are boost gauges ? If it's reading 1 BAR can I trust it ? Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Boost gauges are mostly for show imo, the best thing is to take the reading off the boost controller. Nice being BPU tho isn't it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImraanK Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Congrats... Which model Walbro fuel pump was it ? Is it better than the stock UK spec pump ? Also what size RR and downpipe did u fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Which model Walbro fuel pump was it ? Is it better than the stock UK spec pump ? j-spec is 342 and no uk is a better unit but more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Congrats... Which model Walbro fuel pump was it ? Is it better than the stock UK spec pump ? Also what size RR and downpipe did u fit ? 255lt/hr fuel pump, not sure how it compares with the UK one. 2.5" decat pipes with a 2" RR (which Whifbits say will give 1-1.1 BAR ish).

mplavery Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have a HKS boost controller, really happy with it. This is a old model now, you can adjust the boost on the digital screen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopgunTT Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Well done on going Bpu. Trying to get my bits together to go bpu, reguarding the Thor fcd is it right that these are set at 1.25? Why not 1.2 which is supposed to be the safe limit ? if so are these capable of being adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
