What you can expect for your money!
1. Boost pressure starts @ 2,000 R.P.M.
2. Full boost (limited) 2.1 BAR @ 2,500 R.P.M.
3. No drop in power @ 6,700 R.P.M.
4. Increase in torque and horsepower over the GT17 unit through the entire rev range.
5. A conservative 320-340 BHP potential.
Re-mapping is a must with this unit, as the standard ignition map will not keep up with the fast spool up time of this unit. Performance will vary depending on engine specification such as camshafts etc.'
I'm running actuator pressure only at the moment while i get the mapping sorted, this is 14 psi. At 16 psi on a similar spec car its 300bhp, so mine will be short of this!
