Title: Boost levels from your stock or modded 1.6 TD
Post by: zukgod1 on March 26, 2008, 10:29:36 am
I'm curious as to what we are all seeing as far as boost levels are concerned.

If you would please list your car specs, just basic stuff like pump mods and injectors, intercooler etc and of course what max boost you are seeing.


I'll start with the format I was thinking of but if you have one that gets the info out go for it.

90 Jetta
10mm pump with timing advance mod done and govnah mod done.
Timing set @ 1.05mm
New injector bodies with merc tips
K24 turbo
Non intercooled until it gets here (bought today)
3" turbo back exhaust
Fresh engine with AAZ head gasket and ARP studs.
Max boost seen was 38psi  :shock:
