Default Half way there to gettting my t34 and 500ic on

Recon I'll notice any difference?

The T3 used to booost to about 23 then drop to 18psi, I'm thinking of running the T34 at 21-22psi .. Sound about right?


Cheers,
Luke.

I've already got the other stage 3 bits on there - same chip should be okay shouldn't it?

(I'm gonna get the fuelling checked out later, my mate has a wideband lambda)

Why should it be slower then?

No it wont, the top end fuel map of a YB T34 is miles aside from e T3 map.

Lets face it, it would only be the same if the airflow from the turbo was the same wouldnt it?

And ignore popeye's moaning, hes just hormonal today

No offence mate but your asking important questions which could play a big part in the future of whether your engine melts or not (£1000's of damage!!). I.e. will the existing chip be OK, how much boost shall I run.

Don't you not think it would be wise to get a proffesional tuner to check the car over/ tune it as soon as you've fitted the parts......

Rather than: (I'm gonna get the fuelling checked out later, my mate has a wideband lambda)

Sounds like it'll all end in tears if you don't!!!
