Making 150bhp ATW on this spec.

Well serviced, always good oil used.

Proffesionally set up by AVA and its recently had new leads and a radiator. Also have the fan on a switch in car so temps are somewhat manageable.

Would about 1bar or 14psi safe for my spec? What would you reccomend?

 

14psi will be fine

 

14psi should be no problem but the PACE half width cooler is only marginally better than standard so watch those ACT's

 

As above get a front mount and wind the boost up safely

 

but why didn't ava set boost higher when it was tuned?

 

thought alan turned the boost up?

 

if u've had it setup at ava shouldn't they have set you boost level to the fueling its setup for

 

i was at AVA as coldos car was getting setup and as far as I can remeber the boost and fueling was set.

 

u sure youve not turned the boost down, 150@wheels with 7 psi sounds way off,youd prob see that at 12-14psi of boost,best bet is get it booked back in and tell them you want the boost up a bit and they will tell you how much boost can be run safely,i reckon youll make around 150@wheels on 14psi(provided you take the cone filter off as thats stage 1 power and boost,your acts are gonna start creeping into the 70 at least so more boost wont actually make more power,front mount needed to go beyond this
