Is it just me or is the 14psi boost upgrade, not that much different? I've always run 9psi, today was my first run at 14psi. I have to say whilst it was noticeably faster it wasn't the night and day difference some report, I don't think I've gained 80hp or anything, my butt dyno says it running about 330-340 if that...

should be a big change Steve...i run this 3 zeds ago and it used to fly:w00t:

Why such a big shroud for one gauge?

Yeah when I went from stock to 14~psi the car really came to life. At stock it all felt very linear, controlled and managed. At 14 it was like a different car, wild, exciting and frantic.

Agreed, the very same!

You guys on auto or manual trannys?

I bought my zed with dta chip boosting to 14psi so never drove on stock boost. But after custom remap form 300bhp to 409bhp and i feel no difference

Yes. But now i have replaced bigger turbos and injectors and generic map and i do feel a difference a bit. Just need a custom map. Waiting for Noel to sort his dyno

Ok so honesty always helps so I will divulge all information as I'm not a fibber. Started the car up this morning and it was running a touch lumpy, almost as if it was misfiring but not quite. Had a little play and one of the rear coil pack connections was loose, idle came up vac reading increased. I highly doubt it was running on five, I know what that feels like and sounds like very well. Anyways it was definitely a lot quicker than stock this morning. Maybe it was me being more aggressive with it in lower gears learning where the grip is but it was definitely better.

I also managed to get a proper reading off the gauge which was 14psi spike to 13psi solid.

halfway through a 3 gauge set-up or should i say 1/3rd through for the purists...anyway that was many years ago:tongue_smilie:

What's that, 18psi Bri? It's a bit blurry. What happened to that engine in the end :lol: seems a touch high.
