hadyn Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Im considering raising my boost a little as a stop gap until i've got enough cash to go for a full decat and 1.2 bar, with fuel pump and colder plugs Im looking for a peak of 1bar with both turbos online with both cats in. Whats the safest boost that can be set for the 1st and 2nd turbos with both cats in?? Im presuming 0.7 bar for no 1 turbo and 1 bar for 1&2 together?

Tom Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I don't think it's a good idea running 1 bar with both cats in, from what I've read your egt's would be pretty high and you'd probably destroy the cats. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo1 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi, i have both cats in and running 1bar day in day out..... However, please note that i am running high output race spec cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 right, obviously EGTs are a concern, but if im running 0.9 bar peak now, surely upping it by 0.1 bar wont hurt that much would it??? I'd have thought 1.2 bar with both cats in would be harmful to both cats and engine due to EGTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I've recently (last week) increased mine to 1 bar and i still have both cats. Everything seems to be running ok however engine and exhaust noises are a hell of a lot louder. Fingers crossed !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
