T123VOR Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'm going over to surrey rolling road in the morning if anyone fancies it? J11 M25 For a little look what my power/torque is on the new one<_< It's £35 in a groupbuy so good price
T123VOR Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Not as good as I thought 370bhp But only 345lbft torque! Guy at slowboy reckons the boost controller isnt holding full boost for long enough going from 1.5 dropping to 1.4 then 1.25 However on the road i can hold it at 1.5 with some throttle control?! Could it be the decat centre (ive removed 1 cat and a resonator) I added has affected the turbo performance (the back pressure?) it should be around 360lbft Remap after Xmas just to tidy it up in that case I think PS Not a mod but a rectification to a rectification
HOL Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 It could be a lack of pressure, What Turbo and what size injectors are you running?

T123VOR Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 yes eboost2 boost controller but slowboy are saying you can't just ramp up the boost without a full adjustment across the map it's a td05 20g - standard STI pinks as far as I know- im sure the guy i bought it off said they were still standard but good for 380bhp

But that was with an Octane booster as well. The 20G is a BIG turbo, but for some reason the Torque never quite matches the bhp as a squared number. I have never 'seen' anyone get over 400 from one on the Dyno, without running octane booster on a 2.0 either. Pub figures =yes! But, I would have expected a bit more from an STI. Chances are is that it is something simple like a weak actuator, if the Turbo was not 'brand' new when converted.
