Does the S5 turbo redline at 7K or 8k.
If it is 7k, Would changing it to 8K help u get more power. Or is it not worth it??

 

7k.

How would you change it? if you want to change at 8k, then wait till you get to 8k then shift. Unless you have an auto or something?

Also depends on what boose you are running. Stock, I don't think it is worth it. You won't get anything more out of it,

 

With a completly stock S5 turbo...running the rpm up to 8k would do nothing but ....

Overwhelm a stock intercooler and you can watch the boost drop off since you are way outside the efficecy range of the stock turbo.

yea its 7k you aint makin much power in that range so its not worth going up there really but it can be fun

 

LOL, how could it be really fun if your not making anymore power and putting your engine at risk?

Stock is indicated 7kRPM.

Do you have radical porting to take advantage of the higher revs?
Do you have a turbo that can take advantage of the higher revs?
If you don't, you're just adding more wear&tear for nothing...

I figured that, But wanted to make sure. Thanks guys.

 

Redline is anywhere you wanna stop revving. If you'd like to know where peak power is, put your car on the dyno.

 

Uh, with attitudes like that, no wonder there are dead motors due to overrevving.
In general, a "redline" is the maximum (sustained?) RPM's a motor can handle at any one time.
There *is* a reason for it and how it's set.
Sure, the stock redline can be conservative, but it's still a very good limit for your engine.

I just had my car on the dyno and the peak power was at 6500 rpm so it seems useless to me to rev over the stock 7K redline.

 

With a bnr stage 3 turbo and fmic..mild port and of course a standalone do you think you could tune it to make peak power a bit past 7k?

 

I don't know why'd you want a high rpm peak poewr.

I'd prefer a nice 3-5k power range. That is hella useful!!!
