How should I BOOST?

[nick790]

OK, Just got my car back on the road and back up to speck, done a very big service and now I'm thinking of mod's for the old gal.

I was going to do some sensable boost mod's but I need some advice what to do when and in the best way.

1, Wast gate adjusment ( pre tension rod? )
2, Bleed valve ( where to fit, retain or deleat boost control valve? )
3, Boost gauge ( best type, most accurate? )
4, Elecronic boost control ( worth the cost? )

I know all of this is covered in other theds but trying to find a good set up between all of these mods threw me a little.

My car is a 855R Auto, 120K on the clock.

I know your the people to ask, thanks in advance.

I guess most say go for a remap over a mbc/bleed valve but there are people around who have very good experiences with just an mbc - as for the other stuff, i cant really help! try some searches :)

My advice would be this -

1, Wast gate adjusment ( pre tension rod? )
Set it to the correct setting and you need an accurate pressure gauge to do this.

2, Bleed valve ( where to fit, retain or deleat boost control valve? )
Don't bother.

3, Boost gauge ( best type, most accurate? )
Don't know. It doesn't really matter as you only really want an indication.

4, Elecronic boost control ( worth the cost? )
Don't bother.
