I've just fitted an Apexi AVC-R to the meggy to control boost as i want to see how far we can go

Heres a couple of piccys of the unit fitted. Only running 15PSI (ish) at the moment as 20 felt a little bit harsh to say the least!

looks good mate

Just read the rest of the manual and noticed the part saying DO NOT FIT ON ANY VEHICLE NOT LISTED. Oops :roll:

Took some working out but everything that should work does work and i now have my very own connection diag for the meg

I will be going to a RR to do some testing i.e removing the map, changing fuel pressure etc. I will post my findings ASAP. Off to go set the boost to 1.2kg cm2(17-18 PSI) and have a play

I'll let you know about the rolling road results and see if we can break the 300 mark :twisted:

sin the silver one, looks realy good, i quite like that one, but like you say it will stand out

 

[andy bassett]

ahh the black one is a limited edition

You can get them cheaper tbh tho :wink:

Hey Paul I´ve tought that a boost controller doesn´t help to increase the car´s pressure.
I think that your car has the remap, that´s why your are running 15 psi...
I have a TurboX....SO at the end this really helps?

THanks for your answer Paul.

It depends on where and how it is fitted, Andy did some "testing" with his car at the weekend and didn't have too much luck. If you can get some pics of under the bonnet i'll have a look. Also a link to the controller would be good

Cheers

have had another play and got mine to boost to 15psi with out a remap or a boost controller,and it run fine for 21 miles , think if i wound the actuator arm right out it would boost at around 18-20psi but would 100% bow the turbo. :? :shock:

Lookin good Paul. Can the remap be used to remove the boost limit so it can be fully controlled by the AVCR?

 

[Guest]

how have you managed to get it to run at 15psi with out doing anythink? am not to hot on the engine :?

 

[Guest]

Andy What happened after mile 21 ?
Did you take out the oem boost controller or divert the pipes away from the oem controller?

cheers

Just thought i'd post so i can see what the outcome is :lol:

So far i have dared to go to 1.3BAR with no limp or anything. But.....

My intercooler appears to be errrr

Fooked! I have not looked into it yet but i am now losing boost and can hear it leaking @ anything over 1.0BAR!

P.S. DO NOT TRY ADJUSTING THE BOOST WITH NO MAP!!!!!!

The way Andy "tested" his was to remove the vacuum pipe from the wastegate thus NO pressure release anywhere on the system.

To sum it up that is very bad and likely to ruin your turbo/pistons/rods etc..... :shock:

i strongly agree not to do this aswell, this was just to see if it can be done without map and boost controoler aid and it cant, this was a test i done with paul over the phone and do not recomend doing it.

basicly i run the car with no pipe on the actuator, so it just boosted its balls off.
