Hi all,

I've got the car booked in to have fuelling setup / rr on Wednesday.

I've just had fmic put on also sard rrfpr, decat, jam fcd, (MBC if needed) and hks actuator - running stock manifold, no cracks in it - but question is now what boost should I safely run? Car is not my daily driver, I only use it on weekends.

Set it to 0.8 on actuator, then wind it up to 0.9 with the MBC? Or would this be too restricted as standard mani.... Hopefully end of this month if speedvisions mild-steel mani's are available I'll be ordering one of those - Would I be able to run it at 1 bar untill then? (with just actuator would down, no mbc)

help appriecated.

if your getting it set up on rr id put it at a bar,

i was running 1 bar on std mani for a good 6mths, with no probs at all

what sortof power would u hope for at 1bar on this setup up? just curious?
is one bar wise on standard turbo manifold?

No idea, not too bothered about it, just want a nice torque figure :)

Should be fine as I'm having the fuelling setup correctly.
