Hi All! Just had my forged lump in and Blitz K24/26 hybrid turbo kit fitted by Kieran.S (Awesome work again!!!). Heading for mapping Wednesday. Just have a few questions from my mapper and from myself:

Whats the maximum boost this turbo can take?
Whats the optimum boost this turbo should run? (reccomendations please!)

Bumpo..anyone??? Need answer asap! From what I have researched the standard K24's max is 1.4bar of boost and anymore and they collapse...whereas the blitz KKK24/26's hybrids can run up to 1.8bar without fail but there efficiency range is only up to 1.6 bar???

Can't really comment on the Blitz units but I chickened out at 2bar on my standard K26 (5E).

Ran for a long time at 1.6bar then it decided to boost more. I've settled it down to 1.8bar at the moment just for safetys sake.

Your turbo sounds a bit more interesting than mine though, do you have a compressor map to work from?
