I got boost but need more!

With Turbo and Super charging you can create massive horsepower with vw motors.

I got boost but need more!

Post by Mathias »

I got my engine mapped last year on the dyno and found a few issue (boostleak) that limited the boost. I fixed them over the winter. now i'm going to get on the dyno again and got a questions from the tuner; "what is your target boostlevel?"

the engine:
2332cc, forged CB crank, Mahle pistons and cylinders, CB's H-beam rodswith ARP bolts. FK-46 cam, CBs SuperMags heads, 10:1 comp, Interccoler (8"x8" and 5" thick), running E85.

Im hoping to hit 22psi, would you think thats is possible? or will this be to much for my motor? of course there can always be issures that breaks stuff but in general would it be able to handle it?

I would say yes it possible. What turbo are you running? Is the compressor in its efficiency range or just blowing hot air at that point?

22 psi and 10:1 compression sounds scary to me.

Im running a T3/T4 so it should be at or just past its limits with that boost level according to the compressor map.
