I was just wondering how much boost a non-chipped standard ECU map can handle safely? Assuming you've got all the other stuff like an EBC, decats, cone filter etc.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

no? but if i find out will you give me some rep :tt2:

Can't mate, need to spread the love.... Not quite sure what that means, unless it's promoting being a tart, which I am anyway :lol:

Mine handled 20 odd psi,then I realised and shat meself!:laugh:

hmmm.. :lol:

Seriously tho' it's not so much the map as the injectors giving out. MHO would be 1 bar.

 

I haven't got any rep:crying:

But don't you need to remap the ecu for the fueling before upping the boost or you get DET??

 

I'll rep you if you rep me ;)

I wouldnt go to 1 bar without a chip........not for any lenght of time at least!

 

Im running 1 bar but thats with an ebc, chip and uprated intercoolers etc etc.

No, but I was wondering if a slight increase to say 10 or 11 psi would be ok?

Dont think that would be too bad.......try it and any hint of det just turn it down.

I was just wondering really mate, will be getting it chipped properly when I'm done.

Why?-just buy my Mines ECu and sorted! LOL!

 

(oh! and have some rep....)

hmm personally I wouldn't touch the boost at all until I'd had a remapped chip, but I guess a couple of pounds above stock should be ok (but don't blame me if it goes bang!)
