Performance - Turbo Boost Increase

Good day.

Simple way to increase turbo boost.

Put two spacers, one on each side to under the wastegate actuator.

Boost increased from 17,4 psi original - 18,85 psi overboost original to 19,97 psi - 20,3 psi.

(1.2-1.3 bar original to 1.37-1.4 bar).

 

Attention, it should be tested with a boost gauge.

It should not be too much increased (permanent overboost).

    Note that turbo boost may not be accurate because of chip module.

    Racechip GTS indtalled and tested. 

    At the moment with petrol it's like it got 12-14 hp. and with LPG 8-10 hp.


    If LPG will be adjusted further, maybe it will balance out.

    The performance is amazing. When went for the first ride test with the gts, it didn't show that much of a difference, but on the third ride, the difference is more than noticeable.
