Let your mapper decide when he's got it on the Rolling road!

14psi on a 1.6 and 14psi on a 1.9 aren't the same thing.


I think 1 bar will be about your limit, from what i've seen. You'll either start to run lean or if you have a great metering head, you'll be close to the limit of your rods (if the turbo flows enough).
