J4CK50N Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hiya guys Been out in the motor yesterday and was having a play around (as you do) and was watching the boost guage. I am getting 0.7 bar on the first turbo then around 0.9 bar finally raising to around 1 bar nearer the top of the rev range on the second turbo. The car has all CATS removed, a restrictor ring and FMIC. My question is does this boost seem right. Also the 2nd turbo seems to come online at around the 4-4.5k mark, does this seem a little late? Finally sometimes the needle seems to shake a little, very quickly. What could this be. Thanks guys J4CK50N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4CK50N Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Nah mate You're thinking of the same guy!! I still speak to him a bit, so will mention it to him. Thanks for the reply!! It goes very well, just seems like stuff is coming in late!!! Cheers J4CK50N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Everything sounds normal, if you want to up the boost a little then you need to remove the restrictor ring and file out to a bigger diameter. Either that or fit a bleed valve or boost controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 2nd turbo coming online @ about 4-4.5k rpm sounds normal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewizzy Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 3rded 2nd turbo comes on really stong at 4.4 - 4.5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 That seems a little late from what I've read on here. I asked this question a while back and the answer was first turbo fully on at 2000rpm and second at 4000rpm. 4500 might be a little late...? Not saying that it's anything to worry about though.

Jake Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 that's right Dave, I remember the thread about it. Second turbo coming online as late as 4500rpm would be a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
