if you want to beat your friend, practice launches, practice shifts, take out any excess weight, or get NLTS(no lift to shift)

Whatever you do don't let your fat girlfriend ride with you, and the weight savings will benefit both you and the road.

if you're going to turn the boost up, don't do 1psi, do like 10psi because then your car will automatically adjust itself. It won't do that with just 1psi...

This is pure genius! Every tuner on this board can completely revamp their tuning method. Nice work.

Aren't you the guy who, just the other day, made a post asking how to install an exhaust? Your grammar was so horrible I thought you were foreign.

You two are the guys I'm coming to the next time I need some advice.

Been going through this with a friend of mine on his VIII, he'd crank up the boost and the car would go slower, finally got tuned for the "high boost" and now he wonders why he ever messed with it before.
Yeah because the car is doing more then what the ecu is telling it to. Basically the car is kinda confused on what to really do now. Its gonna stay with what it knows so there for the extra boost isn't gonna matter. It will make it more dangerous being the fact that it says to do one thing but yet its doing another and being it may be simple car isn't gonna keep up being its not being told to.

Yeah colder air will actually force more air into the system which will be ok being the air meters are still reading the same amount of air.

Easy to do
Yep exactly

Its one race you paranoid panzys. 1lbs not gonna do anything.. My advice Ditch your spare tire.
Doesn't really matter if the car has a mas air sensor or not. Your not measuring boost through it your raising boost through they system. There for what you just said just proves you know nothing about what we are talking about being your getting output not input out of the turbo.

Can this be my sig. Your dumb as a box of rocks.

Take your mass off then everyone. " it doesn't really matter". And I just found out form this troll that there is no correlation between the air that gets sucked into the turbo vs what your boost psi is.. Cool. I'm just gonna plug the intake then to help spool. Go die. This forum is useless except for its archives. Trolls own evos now

This should be common sense 1 psi can make the difference of going faster or blowing a motor if your tuner set it to 22psi then its tuned for that amount due to lack of mods or to be a conservative tune

Your afr is told to be set at say 11.5:1 and you decide to go up 1 psi. With that said your afr will change being your forcing more air without changing the gas mixture.
Came in to help, now i just want some f**king chocolate milk

Oh and your completely wrong. The MAF does not measure boosted air. Please understand how the fuel injection system on these cars works in correlation to boost and ecu parameters before you go telling someone their dumb as a box of rocks

If you had any idea on how tuning these cars works, you would know what you just said has made everyone who has come across this thead lose a few braincells

Having me a glass of chocolate milk right now, couldn't take it anymore.

AdamAndEvo, have you ever done any tuning before? If you have seen what the maps look like and understood what they meant it might change your point of view.

Then with that said you better go back to them to understand how boost control actually works.

Maybe if he goes back to the archives he will understand it more?

Obviously hes a noob to understanding how things work if he thinks the intake pipe helps with controlling boost . If he knew how things work he would know that the turbo is gonna spin at certain rpms regardless, sure you can make turbo spool faster or slower, or that a mbc or ebc is basically just a valve to control the amount of pressure is being made between the wg pressure and the cylinder pressure to help with the af ratio. Maybe there is something in the archives about how it all actually works? But again who am I? I'm just here to pad my stats
