Acheiving > 25 psi Boost
ORIGINAL: diehlryan
couldn't the loss of boost be contributed to the ECU detecting overboost? I know a chip will up the boost level but if you still push past it the ECU will pull it back. aka.. if you want to run 25psi consistently you'll still need a diode to fool the ECU even with chip...

shortly after the chip... I did the DV, VTDA, and BM and was running 25psi steady all the time.
I just had to be careful because whenever I'd go OVER 25psi, it'd dump into limp mode.
I ended up turning it down to 23psi anyway because there's no efficiency @ 25 anyway, I wasnt gaining anything.
Im more interested in how people are running 27-32psi of boost... and I cannot. I still overboost when i get past 25psi.
Im going to increase volume and pressure for injection tomorrow or the next day, and cut the boost to 20psi. I'll see if that allows for higher timing advancement. In the long haul though... I'd still like to know how people with gt3076r's and gt2871r's are running 27-32psi of boost regularly. I ask because I'm upgrading to a gt3076 in Feb-Mar timeframe and would like to actually see some gains from it.
I'd hate to drop $4,800 on a big turbo kit and still be stuck @ 23psi (yes I realize that 23 psi with a gt3076r is going to produce much more power than a k04)
First you need a turbo that can flow it and a boost controller that can adjust to that level. Not all ball and spring mbc can do it until you install a stiffer spring and then you cant lowerthe psibelow a higher amount of boost. Most ebc's will let you boost to 40+psi
So how would I go about pulling the n75 out of the loop safely? I mean... yea, I can just physically remove it from the chain of events... but does it not provide a signal to the ECU that the ECU would be looking for once I removed it>?
thats what im saying though. If the n75 takes a physical property and converts it into an electronic signal to send to the ECU... then wouldn't that cause some issues if there were no physical properties for it to convert? Thus mmakes it send faulty signals to the ECU. It will be reporting zero boost to the ECU. Wont that give me some type of light or abnormal adaptation?
Never once had a problem, the ecu provides the requested and the map sends the actual to the ecu up to 22psi. The n75 is just a bc like the bc your replacing it with.
