T2 Safe Running Psi? - RhysBoost - 10-11-2012

Basically as title really what psi is it safe too run a t2 on without having too worry about it going pop? ThumbsUp Any replies appreciated Smile


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - strictly_perv - 10-11-2012

Standard PSI.


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - darrenjlobb - 10-11-2012

20-25psi


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - RhysBoost - 10-11-2012

Thinking of turning it down too about 20 too play it safe?

What's everyone else running out of interest?


Re: T2 Safe Running Psi? - Dan! - 10-11-2012

Completely depends on the condition of the turbo Rhys, they even blow at standard boost eventually. Anything over 25 is generally pushing your luck, but will probably still last 6+ months of you drive it well, 20 is pretty safe tbh, but still doesn't guarantee it will be fine...


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - RhysBoost - 10-11-2012

Yeah, mines still got that boosting problem i need you too look at; been searching on here and someone had the same problem and it was the wastegate arm had popped off?


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - silverzx - 10-11-2012

26PSI is the sweet spot on those with LDA + Gov mod in my opinion. (:


T2 Safe Running Psi? - dturbopeck - 10-11-2012

Mines been running 26psi for 3yrs now, and my turbos done 177000mls


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - RhysBoost - 10-11-2012

Sweet! What other mods you running?


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - 4WayDiablo - 10-11-2012

Mine ran around 32-34 psi for over a year but has since been lowered by a slight gasket leak to 27-28 psi


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - Ruan - 10-11-2012

Remember, a leak doesn't mean less pressure on the turbo, it simply means the turbo is spinning faster to piss the air it pressurised to atmosphere... It's actually quite damaging lol....


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - David - 10-11-2012

If you none turbo it then it will be safe lol


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - RhysBoost - 10-11-2012

You against a cheeky bit of boost now mowle ninja


RE: T2 Safe Running Psi? - cwspellowe - 10-11-2012

28psi and turbo's actually ok still. Thought it was making some weird noises but it turns out it wa a split boost hose.

Mine hardly ever sees peak boost though, but more commonly hits about 20psi pulling onto motorways etc.

Buy it? You have a spare then in case yours goes pop Wink
