Thats crazy! I never see that much but Im sure my charge temps being 140* has a lot to do with that.

 

Very nice. Make sure you check all your clamps from the turbo and the intercooler. When I was pulling about 23 psi I noticed they where all loose and the one going into the intercooler was almost off. That was a pain to tighten because I had to drop the skid plate to get to the clamp. Skid plate has 14 7mm bolts, 6 pop clips and 2 5.5mm bolts to remove. The lower clamps use a 7mm socket to tighten.

 

Awesome sauce!

 

my chargepipe and intercooler pipes are all upgraded they seem to be holding strong Its weird to me on a hot florida day to be bringing that type of boost on stock turbo but im happy

 

ecobeastmiami,
Your using the turbosmart bov correct?. How many turns did you put on it? Doesn't seem to make a difference to me so not sure if I set it up right. Before the install I was running the Bama Performance 93 race tune and the car pulled hard and was quick on the thottle. After putting in the turbosmart without changing the tune it feels like stock again. Like its lost all torque. Seems to idle/run fine just has no power when you get on it. Bama says needs retune. Still waiting on that. Hope that fixes it.

 

yes currently have the turbosmart bov I have mine turned all way to the hardest . it could be the tune or you might want to check your vacuum hose make sure the set up is fine do you here flutter when you rev the car? also check your psi give it a rip and find out what your boosting

 

Thanks, must be the tune then. No fluttering. It sounds normal. Rev it high then the air vents. I put the stock tune back on till I get the update from bama. Its hitting around 20psi with stock.

 

Old thread, but crap. I just installed the Cobb stage 2 and hit 27.5 psi. I didn't get a picture, but the car screamed. Not safe in my opinion.

 

When I was running the Cobb Stage 2 tune I never saw more than 20psi, even as a spike. Something is certainly wrong somewhere.

 

That's a good question. I wish I could help. My only suggestion is to start getting some datalogs on some hard pulls and seeing if you can isolate anything. This is where working with a pro tuner would be helpful.

 

Very true. I am actually working with Ryan from PD tuning as we speak. I just up loaded my 2nd log. I installed the Cobb stage 2 because the base tune from PD was just that. I figured while I wait for the revised tune, I will play with the stage 2. Stage 1 was boosting around 22. Is it possible that the new updates from Cobb are more aggressive?

Anyhow, I am sticking with PD only. No more messing around because of boredom. Current logs are looking good.

Theses 3.15 gears are a highway terror. Suck for launches though

 

Awesome. Sounds like you're in good hands then. I do find it odd that you ran the Cobb stage 2 and got more boost. I actually saw less overall boost on stage 2. I attributed it to the larger volume of the IC and charge pipes.

I can see the 3.15 gears being great on the highway. My 3.55s kick major butt at stoplights...
