Official 1.8 turbo thread

[$ub$onic]

No clue. I don't live by you.

But zzp does not even have a good 1.4 tune. I doubt a custom 1.8 turbo tune would be any good

Wait a little on the coilovers I'm working with JIC magic USA to release a set of USA made coilovers.

Bug ZzP for the Intercooler piping for the 1.8

 

[Scott1_2]

I was just gonna make my own I gotta know where the turbo sits before I try to run the pipes

Is zzp really doing a build if so I'm a little frustrated because I called about it and they said they weren't starting it for a long time they had other projects first and that was in like February

Why so?

 

[Scott1_2]

Still haven't decided where to take it I need injectors a smaller waist gate spring and a running company and it will be done as I've said before I may tune at my school with a professor but I have to get in contact with him

That wastegate opens at 8psi you can use a boost controller to keep it at 6psi

You have that backwards. Whatever the WG is set to is the lowest you can go. You can use a boost controller to increase the delivered pressure above base WG setting though.

I also had the numbers wrong on his turbo it's rated at 6.5 or 7 psi on wastegate alone

 

[Scott1_2]

It feels a lot stiffer than 6-7 psi and the rating is where it starts to open I want one set at like 3psi

The sr20 has a stock boost controller built into the system which is set at 8 then goes up to 12psi. Over the stock wastegate spring of 6 or 7psi so if your just looking for 6 or 7psi just run it off the stock wastegate

Not sure why you would want too set it at 3psi. You can try an aftermarket internal wastegate from turbo smart or kmak but I don't think they go down to 3psi
