What do you think of the Godspeed Intercooler? I saw the one that was a 30x12x3 that I thought about getting. But I havent quite figured out at what point(power) the intercooler starts to choke.

If running the stock Greddy turbo this intercooler is fine but anything bigger than that making over 300whp would benefit from a larger intercooler.
I have run mine up to 350g/s (333whp) and saw a pressure differential of 7psi .

I will be doing an analysis on this very shortly - already have the intercooler (30x12x3) and will measure before and after MAF and IATs .

good deal Brettus, I would be interested in the results from your data.

/\ if my maf increases significantly without too much increase in IATs I'll head back to the dyno and try break 350whp and 300lbft .

Those are beastly target numbers and would earn you a place in the Overboosted Hall of Fame for sure.

This is how you have it set up now, or this is how it was set up by PFS originally? You keep changing your description of your plumbing, I'm having a lot of trouble keeping track of what's going on now.

This is how I have it set up now, and the wastegate works fine now. No more overboosting, the car is driving 100x better. It still chokes on fuel above 300 g/sec but that is a tuning issue and not the turbo setup. In high gear (5th especially) if I just hold down on the accelerator I will eventually get boost creep and the boost will rise, but otherwise its fine.

Now that the w/g is working, I started tuning my boost controller without fear of the engine spontaneously exploding. With the start boost tweaked and moderate set values I get almost instant boost to 9 PSI by under 4k rpms. Once I get a new map from Jeff I will continue making adjustments to raise the boost to my target, and keep it until redline.

Once you get more aggressive with your start boost you will notice how fast the turbo spools. I'm getting 14psi by 3250rpm right now....16 by 3500....it's a little insane LOL

So when do you plan on getting that bad boy on the dyno at 16 psi?

Yeah, I tweaked it a bit more and boost comes on to 9ish PSI by 3500 rpms now, but I'm holding off on raising the boost until I get an updated tune from Jeff and I get my fuel pump installed. My target is 11 PSI.

Did you replace your transmission already? You upped your boost again from 14 lbs??

Impressive .
I see 14psi at 3400 but have not been game to go higher .
Do you know what your P1 duty cycle is at around 3000rpm ?

Hey guys i need a small sugestion here!
as my car is a 4 port it does not have a VFAD,so i managed to make a vacuum fitting for the pressure source to the solenoid in one pipe pre intercooler like the profec manual says,but where should i put my MAP sensor from the emanage,the boost controler's input and my boost gauge as the only vacuums i have left are on the LIM?
Should i put them there??i will be greatfull for any advice!!!

You're missing The Kiwi's point. Please re-read the thread again. OR read Kane's Boost controller "How-To" thread.

Knowledge is power.


Yeah, post 2000, of course in a old threadsurection, to boot. I fail.
