How do you guys in U.S.A increase boost?

Just wondering how you guys increase boost on your TII's.
I use a phase 1 lunar chip approx. $180.00 this gives an increase to 240bhp.
Then a phase 2 adj. boost controller approx. $270.00

These are made by a freind as there is none avaliable in the U.K.

Hoe does this compare to U.S.A.?

That doesn't sound very safe. What boost level is that at, and which year of engine?

Tell me how a chip gives you 240hp exactly.

Btw, it is easier and better to remove restrictions (ok maybe not easier ) in the motor than to add a boost controller. You are making it more efficient rather than running the turbo harder. But lets hear more about this magical chip.

Are you advertising?

How does this compare? The "chip" is a good price depending on what it does exactly and how proven it is. As for boost controller..I got my GReddy for $300 shipped new so that other one isn't a good deal, and still unproven.

Hahah I hear ya..... where I am it's perfect in winter for boosting, sometimes in summer we get some nice cold nights too.

As long as the heater decides to work.

O.K. let me also add

The chip will take you to 240bhp if you also have

A straight through custom exhaust no restrictions- mine is 3"

I also have a K & N panel filter

I have chargecooled it

It is Pulling 12 P.S.I.

with those mods you'd be making 240 on the stock ecu...

240 on stock ecu

at 12 PSI it is over 240bhp and with just a exhaust and filter you would not reach 240. Also to get 12PSI + you have to remove the small rubber pipe on your turbo and replace,I use an adjustable valve.

The larger injectors should be here by the end of the week then its water injection before the turbo and turn up the boost to 17/18 PSI see if she can hack it or not

hmmmmmm, how big are the injectors...without fuel control 17-18 psi seems like a recipe for rotary-soup I'd add a nice fuel pump as well...the etock supra TT pump is the highest flowing unit nippondenso makes and is MUCH better than the holley piece (flows the same)

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The injectors are 1000cc fuel control is also on its way along with air/fuel ratio,exhaust temp, inlet/outlet temp all in one switchable display being specialy made.

I was looking for a fuel pump I may just give yours a try cheers matey.

And if she pops guess this spare one will just have to go in(it comes in handy having two sometimes)

s4 tii, tid, hollowed out precat, safc and walbro.

6psi of boost with an upgraded compressor and full exhaust. Stock everything else.

240bhp is *EASILY* attained by the mods they listed.
