Marc Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I was reading TGTT a guy had a glanza and was standard apart from a mani, de-cat, and an exhaust. His boost gauge was reading 1.0bar of boost? Does that mean when i get these mods i will hit fuel cut, and then need a FCD, and in turn have to purchase a fuel pressure regulator? And also a HKs actuator to lower the boost to within safe levels so i dont blow my turbo quicker than it should at a lower boost setting?Whilst on the topic, if i turn up my boost to lets say just below fuel cut at 0.8ish bar, will i have long to go before my turbo shats itself?Any of you guys been running at boost levels above standard on a standard CT9 turbo? If so how many thousand miles u been running for and how many more do you expect to get? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
