the car is a hundred times faster and i love it and plan on adding an intercooler later when funds become availible I do have a few worries like it seems like it runs wicked hot i dont no if this is normal or not and at high rpm it makes a cackling noise I no nothing about turbos so is this normal. than you for any info or any posts
Woah, did you say almost up to 1.0, LIKE 1.0 BAR?!?! If this is the case you should stop boosting immediately until you get that boost adjusted down. The way i understand it you need to not run more than like 6 psi or so on the standard non intercooled kit with stock internals and compression. that cackling sound that you hear at high rpm is probably your pistons commiting suicide from too much boost. Get hold of rrm and make sure your engine will last another 5 minutes
oh btw 1.0 bar is like 14.7 psi
okay i called them and a good thing to becouse my waste gate wasent working becouse of a crack in the vacume line lucky for me that a great company makes the kit and was more then willing to help me even though i dident buy it directly from them
thank you thank you thank you o yea my car friken halls ***
For those saying you need a boost controller...this is absolutely not true. Running off wastegate pressure is every bit as good as using a boost controller. It's more difficult to adjust, but if you're running 7psi constantly (or whatever) it's the same 7psi whether it's going through a Profec e-01 or just the spring in your wastegate. The only real benefit to a boost controller in my eyes would be if you're frequently changing the boost level at which you're running.
