We've been trying to track down the last 5" of boost in my car.
It's a 95.5 with:
- new K26/27 2B turbo
- RS2 injectors, MAF, FPR
- IA RS2-style exhaust manifold
- 7A exhaust cam
- new Samco hoses, constant torque clamps throughout
- new Forge BPV
- new WGFV
- new POS
- new vacuum/boost hoses in engine compartment and footwell
- new clamps for above
- IA Stage IV w/ 3 Bar sensor
- Stromung exhaust
- older metal x-over pipe
- older metal capped IC
I'm making 21" of boost while another identical car (w/o Stromung
is making 26" of boost. I've even borrowed the ECU from that car, but
still can only make 21" with my car. Both cars have Autometer gauges:
mine's digital with peak hold and his is analog.
We haven't verified the gauges one to the other, but that's the last
thing I know of to check (or use a 3rd known gauge on both cars).
Anything obvious that we may have overlooked? We've pressure tested the
system, but no leaks shown. It pulls hard to redline - I can LFB all I
want with the accelerator on the floor, but still only see 21".
Thanks!
