Topgunz - air to air upgrade

turtle64b · 06-16-2019, 10:39 AM

Data is regarding the supplied filter with the kit.

So to go back to the filter question and R&D. I installed everything, ran no filter, and saw 12.6 psi. My tuner suggested that I put the filter on to protect from grime buildup and we would continue tuning. Yesterday I put the filter on and did some pulls. The most pressure I saw was 7.6 psi, giver or take .5 psi.

To recap:
Filter off: 12.6 psi
Filter on : 7.6 psi

I've had this kit on two cars now and I've threads showing how thoroughly I've searched for leaks or low boost pressure causes. It was this simple all along...

Also, to be clear, this is a fantastic kit! Aaron has done an awesome job! Like everything else, we just find ways to make it more efficient.

Which filter ? The small one supplied?

You should still be seeing more than 7.6 psi with the stock filter. I was seeing a little over 10 psi with the 9 lb pulley and the stock filter.

I don't disagree with you, but I have data logs that say that I stay right around 11.5 psi, with peaks in the 12's without the filter on.

Reviewing the logs from last night, I was seeing 5, maybe 6 psi consistently with the filter on.

The only change between the logs was putting the filter on.

I know the filter is extremely restrictive. I lost 5 psi when I installed a prefilter over my Turbo Guard screen. I just wonder why you're making such low boost with the set up that everyone else consistently see's 10 psi with.
