T6 MAX BOOST QUESTION S80

posted by  someone claiming to be BOOSTD on  Thu Jul 31 06:32 CST 2003 [RELATED]

What is the maximum boost that is being run on T-6's with an aftermarket ECU upgrade?

On my car with the IPD European spec ECU upgrade, I am seeing 22 PSI spikes which then hold steady at 20 PSI from 3400-7000 RPM. Is this too much boost for the fuel system to keep up with?

What is the OEM factory boost level? 8.0 PSI?

Thanks!

T6 MAX BOOST QUESTION S80

You should ask IPD, the guys who sold you the kit. It's not the fuel system that's your major concern, it's whether or not your engine can handle it w/o blowing and you don't want to do that. Volvo doesn't tell us maximum boost that a modified engine (more than stock boost) can take before something bad happens but 22 PSI sounds like alot to me.
The new Mitsu Evo 8s are factory set to 19 PSI max but those engines were built for that.
