The difference between 5 and 8PSI
As per my other post the turbo (ex KFJ) is in and running. I started a low boost until I was sure that there was no knock etc before winding it up slowly.
I started with at 5psi - you could feel the difference - although to be honest, whilst happy to have the additional power I was a bit underwelmed. I guess I had higher hopes.
So I would it up to 8PSI - bl00dy hell - its like a hammer in the face. The difference is like night and day. ...... and I like it ..... I like it a lot!
I still have the fuel tuning to go - so I know that there is a lot more power at the same PSI rating. A new clutch is going in very soon (1.8 size with a lightened flywheel) and then Ill run her up to 12 PSI.
This thing is going to be a monster.

With the full Link setup, just call Keith at FM and get him to send you a 12psi map. With the WB, knock sensor, and EBC, you shouldn't have to do anything except drive it.
At 8psi, the stock clutch is going to be gone in a matter of days.... then just dial up 12psi and lay the hammer down! The Link does everything else.

So much for the boost - Looks like I have a boost leak (bummer!!!!) - its really slow to spool up (GT2554R) now only getting 1-2 PSI upto 4krpm then upto 8PSI 5.5k and over. I'm running a manual boost controller at the moment.
I want more.
Its actually worse to have had boost and lost than never to had boost.
