here is a quick video ... apparently my agu 8l motor only comes with 5 psi standard .. running an auto trans and everything standard asf what boost can I go to (hoping for 8 to 9 psi) safely in order to reduce from 5.5 seconds to around 4.5 seconds 50 to 100 times ... Tia Will ..

can't figure out how to load video !!!!
 
Sorry can't help u with ur car question but to upload you just choose upload an image and then if you have it already on ur phone you click on documents and pick the video.

tried that but mp4 isn't on list of files compatible lol
 
Stage 1 for a K03 turbo'd car generally takes it to around 190hp and a shade over 200ftlbs torque... boost pressure is around 14-16psi iirc...

If you want less boost then some sort of custom tune would be needed where they would 'under tune' the car compared if you want to run less boost...

Bare in mind that the K03 is a fairly limp wristed turbo... everything is over as soon as it starts and boost drops off fairly quickly once it hits its peak

As yours is a 1999 model I can only assume its an AGU... you may struggle to find anyone to tune it if so..

there's a eurotune place here in Chch and for 750 nzd I can get an extra 35whp just with retune of ECU
 
I see wastegate arm is adjustable .. has anyone wound theirs in or out and what was the result (IE faster to boost, more boost, less lag, etc)

Adding preload will potentially up the boost but will also mean less control for the ECU... if 'overdone' can lead to a boost spike which in turn can result in the rods exiting the block...

The AGU ecu is too stupid to care a massive amount about overboost but it may well attempt to cut boost if it detects too much deviation... on the later ME7 ECU's this would just result in boost cut as it would result in more boost than the ECU is expecting to see
