Boost,boost,boost...........

Hey all,

I read a lot about how people get sensational power figures from various mods from various tuners.(myself included in this category ).

So my question is cant you just crank up the boost to achieve a certain power level? Boost = power.

Obviously a xr6t will struggle with internals around the 330rwkw+ mark but a phoon can achieve more due to stronger internals. Lots of people say they are getting x amount of rwkw but very rarely do people say what boost they are,and were originally running.Obviously if a stock xr6t runs 5-6psi stock its going to achieve much higher power levels simply by turning up the boost to 13 or 14psi.

If this sounds stupid I apologise otherwise I would like to hear your thoughts.

I make 300rwkw on 12psi.

Good ol unichip

Increasing boost will increase the amount of air in the cylinder, in turn that means you need to increase the amount of fuel that's also delivered to the cylinder.

So in short no it's not just a matter of winding up the boost.

Each tuner has their prefered method of tuning, from what I understand you can run more boost with less timing or less boost with more timing, as to the reasons why different tuners use each approach is a question that is way beyond me. I'm sure Simon from Xtreme can answer you question better.

For the mods you have your results seem normal to me.

does your edit reduce fuel economy? as more boost = more air = more fuel .

I have 247.5RWKW on 13psi.

I know some ppl have said that is to high for 247.5 but

hay my Tuner said its on a safe level and mate am I loving the pwr.

Its like im running 300RWKW on my car cause that's what kind of boost levels YOU would expect on that amount of pwr.

You cannot just increase the boost on a T without a Edit or piggyback ECU.

If you put a bleed valve on, it will just go into limp mode because the T is smarter than most turbo cars.

You will get better fuel economy with edit as it is tuned correctly. The T with a factory tune runs rich, so the edit will make the AFR's much better.

You may use more fuel because you might like to use the extra power, but this is caused by the right foot not the edit

So if we cant increase boost without edit then can we WITH EDIT?? Is it safe to do so?

To a small extent, yes. too much boost and it will lean out too much.

Would I be correct on the above comment guys???
