      2 bar is a lot in general, most 1.8T's run 1.5 bar. But I want to see around 2.4 bar on it. Just before the head starts lifting. lol.

    So some comments
    Are you sure its a good idea to be using your FPR's rising rate vacuum reference as a source for the boost control which is being bled/ manipulated for boost control?
    Secondly, when it comes to WMI and nozzle placement, furtherer is always best as it the mist will have more time to absorb the heat and also it is less suppression of combustion expansion within the chambers.
    And when it comes to mounting the 10.5L Cool Boost tanks, its one of two things, cut out a piece of hardboard/ plywood/MDF (not chip board) to match your boot mat, cover it with sound carpeting and mount the tank to that or if you are comfortable with drilling into your chassis, use rivnuts into the body.
    I would also recommend a SPMU and connect it to the ECU for boost limp if the WMI does not operate.
    And as a closing statement, if you get the WMI setup right, you wont look back at using expensive ethanol blends.

    • @Pynoxim1
      @Pynoxim1 2 роки тому +1

      1.) We know it's not ideal to be using the RRFPR reference but it's just what we had at the time and it works, we've had no issues thus far and we've checked many many logs. It will be changed eventually but right now it does the job.
      2). That's the only placement spot we have at the moment, eventually this intercooler will disappear and then we will change the setup to match. Will probably move to a two nozzle setup like most of the other cars at the workshop. One post IC and one pre TB.
      3.) It's being mounted with Rivnuts, we love Rivnuts, they are the bread and butter of the "Mounting things into the body" world.
      4.) We're using the ECU's failsafes to sort that out, we have lean protection, IAT protection, Knock control etc.
      Thanks for the tips regardless, constructive feedback is always good feedback.

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  2 роки тому

      What Andrew said. But thanks for your input, it's appreciate it. I'm not too clued up on wmi and the setup thereof.
      About the boost / vac lines: My tuner didn't want to tune the car initially because of the way we're handling boost but it works so we're slow to fix it. But it should probably be done sooner rather than later.
