Mikeyallgood85 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 As some of you may know my car has been rebuilt and mapped it made 210bhp witch tbh i was expecting a little more its running 1.2bar external wastegate but im using a manual boost controller to keep the wastegate closed the boost starts dropping off around 6000rpm! My question is would it hold boost better with a 1.2bar spring apposed to using the boost controller? Or does it not make a difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramses Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 a real 1.2bar spring is better than a manual boost controller ,and finaly it will hold boost better, but rarely sometimes not and you have to take an ebc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Better off getting an ebc, so much better then a manual controller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 It's just ££ at the moment else I'd get one! I might just swap the spring for a 1.2bar one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Definitely buy a ebc to hold that boost at top end I was going to just run a max bar spring but my mate had his mapped doing that way and it still didn't hold, wait out and buy a good ebc with a 1 bar spring at least then you have full control of save boost and make more power.

Mikeyallgood85 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cheers tobz, Sounds like i should definitely be pushing more power, The only thing you have in your spec performance wise witch i don't is uprated injectors! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
