What are my safe boost limits
What are my safe boost limits
Im very new to this tuning game and have been looking through old threads but couldnt find an answer to this question- What is a safe limit that I can increase boost with a Knight Sports fuel cut defenser installed? I found info regarding stand-alone computer management and for piggy-back chips, but nothing about fuel cut defensers.

if its solely a fcd, your safe boost is at 10psi!
actually you probally can go up to 12psi but i would not recommend it. stay at 10psi and you'll be happy for a long time

Your series-6 version (92-95) turbos will last around 100,oookm if kept at boost levels around 10psi.
Increase to 12psi & the reliability drops. Go to 14psi & its down further.
Use over 15psi & you can (potentially) kill them in just a few weeks or within 1000km
My advice, dont go over 12psi to maintain some element of reliability.

i don't think any jspec ecu was even programmed for more than ~10.5 psi, maybe 11. that's it, it simply isn't programmed for more. the turbo's and engine can handle more but with only a fuel cut eliminator you will blow the motor.
