boost pressure on a T4

[LeeVTi]

ive just bought a boost gauge and piller pod, fitted it no worries. is it supposed to be boosting at 14psi standard, no that im moaning cuz its lightning performance but is this right standard. (apart from itg filter), i understand that some gauges can be out but 14psi????

any1 with any ideas???

[Enigma666]

Apparently that is right, but I could be wrong.

If you do the maths, then yeah about right as

14 psi = 0.965264 bar

I have had mine RICAD and it produces

1.2 Bar = 17.40456

so I would guess 14 aint bad.
On a side note, how hard was it to fit the guage?

[spesh]

14 psi does seem a little bit high for a standard car.
T5 only runs 6psi standard, my old 440 turbo was 4 psi standard. 6-9 psi I would of thought would of been a bit more like a standard boost pressure for a T4

gauge was really easy to fit let me know if ya need any help and i'll send ya some pics of mine done it today, so ya think 14 is about right, runs really well for a stock t4, more mods coming soon hopefully

wot else ya done to yours???

Standard Boost pressure on a T4 is 0.9 bar, 13psi.

Pics would be great.
Only thing to be done so far is the RICA and an ITG filter.
But seriously thinking about a turbo swap, but need to talk to VT about prices etc etc.
Next thing is the brakes and suspension though.

If your thinking of it, get it RICAD.....what a diference

glad i didn't dissapoint you lol

i'm just surprised you can get away with the same big old 19t on a T4 as you can on a 5, but yes if its happy with it go for it :nutkick:

[LeeVTi]

with and uprated turbo wot bhp is possible are we talkin 300+ or is that dreamin on a t4??

[Enigma666]

I know of a couple of T4's running 420 bhp in Sweden

for more info and a specialist S40 site try

Not exactly an easy job.
apparently you need to rotate the Turbo through 90 degrees and then play about with the piping, not to mention a custom attachment for the manifolds etc

[Ross9]

They go well though, I've driven a V40 T4 with just over 300 bhp (IIRC) it was running a 19T turbo, MTE remap, and a few other bits and bobs. Was quick :D

[madness]

if you want big power for big money just go to autotech

657bhp from a 2.0t isnt bad.........

for nutters and the very rich only lol

[LeeVTi]

na wasnt aiming for that 300bhp would be more than enough for me, but its nice to know that its achieveable in a t4, wonder wot would need to be changed for that, i would imagine hybrid turbo, filter and exhaust, RICA remap but n e thin else???
