Can someone tell me the difference between sequential and non-sequential in the 7?

Also, what psi should the 7 be running at on a daily basis? It appears most of you guys reccomend 10...is this correct?

I want to run as small amount as boost at all times so that i keep the engine free from any stress, and just turn it up when i need to.

 

I am gonna answer my own questions having done MORE reading.

The stock boost is 10psi, and you shouldn't go over 13psi or you are gonan **** something up.

Sequential and non-sequential is not important to me as i am not intending on doing that mod at all - it is not for the faint hearted, though it does make the set up less complicated.

One thing i am not finding is a psi/lbs comparison.

How many lbs of boost is 10 psi?

 

* do a google search for a program called convert.exe - keep it on your desktop, it will give you all the conversions you will ever need

* stock boost peaks at 10psi

* you can run much more boost than 13psi - but your peak boost level should correspond with how advanced your modifications are (fuel, safety, performance, etc)

* non-sequential isn't that big a deal, I guess it depends on whether you intend to do the work yourself or not

 

thanks

 

well, you're not looking at Lbs to psi as is what you would rate as LBS but boost is mesured in PSI and KPA

psi is pressue per square inch or ten pounds of pressure per square inch.

KPA is rated in BAR so 1 bar is 14.5 psi [I do not know what kpa stands for though]

Now here comes the kicker.. you could have 1 turbo spitting out 20psi and not put as much boost as another turbo spitting out 10psi.

The bigger the turbo is, the more CFM of air it can produce at certain pressure. But on the other hand bigger means more time before the compressor can get to speed to produce more boost pressure
