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???
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?
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
. 6-9 psi I would of though would of been a big more like a standard boost pressure for a T4[/QUOTE] Spesh...whats happenin with your words mate!!!!

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

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

Knew you would make a comment lol :haha: Gotta be done though hasn't it?
[QUOTE=Enigma666]Knew you would make a comment lol :haha: Gotta be done though hasn't it?[/QUOTE] 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:
with and uprated turbo wot bhp is possible are we talkin 300+ or is that dreamin on a t4??
I know of a couple of T4's running 420 bhp in Sweden for more info and a specialist S40 site try S40concepts

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 Ross
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
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???
