high boost on stock internals

[Max9650]

Hi im on the lookout for a EP82 in good condition, and with good mods (hint hint ) A mate of mine knew of a guy selling one,

its got 160k on the clocks and a jam ecu, Coils etc,

Only problem is, Its running around 1.2/1.3 bar on stock internals, Possibly spiking to 1.4bar as it has no EBC ( on a ported ct9)

I've been told it's not been running that high boost for too long but i'm just wondering should i walk away?

Or should just do a compression test, and if its all good, then not worry about it too much? and get that boost turned down asap?

Thanks all.

That is high for a ct9 it would be blowing hot air at that pressure, I'd be careful mate, do a compression test for peace of mind!

way to high as jim says compression test first as jim knows from experience with his doesn't end well

[Max9650]

Cheers yep i definitely will get a compression test done on it, im just concerned because of it running too high boost is it likely to encounter problems because of that in the future

Running more than a bar on stock internals will always bring you problems

[Max9650]

So best I stay away?

[Jhandy]

Possibly bud. It could've done damage. That won't show straight away. Which usually happens in most casses

[Max9650]

Yeah your right it prob has weakened the internals, cheers - just need to find a decent ep82 daaaammmnnn! Thankyou all for your replys

If I hadn't just out a deposit down on a turbo kit. I might have sold mine. Only just got it though

If it runs fine there will be nothing wrong with it as long as its been looked after! 1.2 bar CT9 isnt a lot of pressure... buy it if its clean!
