Its never happened around here I know people with 80K on theirs making 300+ on stock turbo and still going wiht no problems. Plus I dont use any of my vacuum lines, so my ECU doesnt read boost, with the map clamp on the timing sucks, but with it off it is ok. I have hooked up a data logger to my car before, im not making this up.
you have no idea what your talking about. when the car see's more than 15psi on teh factory pcm it pulls timing. the ecu reads boost through the MAP sensor, not the vacume lines. when the map sensor taps out, the car pulls timing, that is why you have a map clamp. you limit the voltage coming out of the map so that the ecu doesnt register overboosting. if your mapclamp is tuned right, your timing will be perfect. if its not perfect your tune sucks.

you wont mess up your turbo, you will melt a piston. the turbo is out of efficency anythign above 18psi, at 23 your EGT's are above 1700*. hot enough to melt pistons!!! also, your IATs are way higher than they need to be. trust me, if you were to drop your boost and get a proper tune you will be making more power.

how do i know? go ahead, ask me

dude look man I aint arguing, you have your knowledge I have mine, I saw my car put down 289 at the dyno with the mods I listed, you didn't so at the end, I dont care if you believe me, ive hooked up data loggers to my car plenty of times I've seen my timing plenty of times, and now with no map clamp my timing is still good considering that i am running armageddon like boost how you make it seem like. I put my numbers because they asked me to, not for you to come and call BS. Thanx but I dont need any of that. Good luck with your car, and thanx for the help. lets continue this thread to what I started it for.

but your wrong. plain and simple. lets post it up and see what the "experts" have to say.

and im really suprised your happy with 289 with 23psi. thats pretty horendus. you should pick up significantly more power than that. heck, i broke 300 with 20.

and if you hooked up a datalogger and had the same timing with and without your mapclamp, its not installed properly...or not tuned

dude since you hooked up your data logger to the OBDII port what kind of numbers were you seeing with it? with and without the mapclamp....what you are talking about makes no sense...you had either #1 a bad tune with the mapclamp or #2 your wiring was ****ty and the voltage wasn't corresponding like it should. That or you have your returnline pressured to high and then pulling to much fuel with the mapclamp which could also be bad...either way you aren't making sense and Tex has you on this one...

That's not good lighting...that's glare in the face for on coming traffic. You should get some projectors in that housing and that will be some good lighting rather awesome lighting None the less the car looks good.

I know but its about 1 grand to do a projector retro they dont sell projectors for them, so you gotta do a retro from another car into our headlights.

ok for the people out there bashing me my wiring wasnt ****ty, and my tune was not bad. My timing was not the same with it on, it was better but wasnt all that great as if you had a piggyback. You dont have the precise options of a piggyback like the RPM increments as when you are running a mapclamp, meaning we all know a map clamp is not as good as a piggyback. You broke 300 at 20, well read again well and notice I made 289 at 18, i'm running 23 spike now but not back then when I dynoed, and I made 289 with a map clamp, what were you tuned with when you made 300, a piggyback right? We'll see now when I go next time imma have an afc, and we'll see what I dyno. Well I started this thread for the pictures not to argue with anyone, if I dont know my**** an tex is the guy it dont matter thanx for the comments anyways, I know what I know and its been enough to be succesful with what Ive done to my car and for my mods my car runs more than good. Don't believe me? Thats up to you. Theres been plenty of people here in miami and I mean more than enough running the same boost and have made well well over 300. So if thats horrendous then I dont wanna see what good is

Oh and also your telling me im crazy running 23 psi because anything over 18 is not efficient and your egts are gonna be really high and your IAT also, but your running over 18 also so what are you trying to say, its not 23 but still over 18.
