Regarding my oil pressures, you're all worrying over nothing, as we ran out of oil so just topped it up with half a litre of super unleaded, which just thinned it out a bit .

Guessing you have seen this spec before so would have a rough idea - unfare advantage...

Awesome mate - Why the low boost at the top end though ? 26 is really low.

Have you sorted a box ?

Steve,
Of course all the base maps are the same for each engine with the same hardware, as they come from one source .

Totally agreed but So not what i meant.

Still its a nice flat torque curve that will need some uprated box....its very flat.

The T38 appears to be strong...

Yep, is very good turbo, but 440bhp is the limit of greys on standard fuel pressure with this turbo or a T4 .

Well boost doesnt really mean Zilch as such, as the breathing limits of the engine, the temperature and the boost are what determine airflow.

So its certianly relevant but isnt the B all and End all.

Once of the main things boost shows of course is how bad the standard engine is at consuming air!

Chip,
The point I was making is that you can't compare two different turbos and the boost they are running and say that the one running more boost must be either more powerful or running similar power to the "bigger one" just because of running BIG boost .

Seems you have fairly low torque, like my h/c engine Dave.
Mine is 411bhp @ 20psi, but because of the lack of boost, the torque is limited.
Should be a strong trouble free power at that level
