By the way....do you know what the max safe limit on the VF35 is? I've been looking everywhere and not found a definitive answer on that as yet. I would like to experiment briefly :twisted: but i don't want to blow the turbo either

I ran a VF35 for a while at 1.8 bar midrange tapering to 1.45 bar at peak power and down to 1.2 bar at redline. Any more or any less boost than that would drop power on my particular set up. Built 2L V5 with FMIC, Induction hose (a big no no with a VF35), cone Filter, no Maf. It made 390/370 on V Power with 6% Meth.

You are entirely correct, the standard 3 bolt up pipe is way to big for any stock turbine housing. We have a test up pipe here which is set to replace it in our 3 bolt manifold kits. .

[quote="Gerry H"]I was looking at Jase's wideband last week, not sure what make it is but it has lambda in the central display and AFR around the periphery, or the other way round.

[quote="Area 52 Autosport"] Try running a 20G at 2 bar plus and see how long it lasts ]

Having run a 20g for about 3 years it made 1.5 bar tops bit was very reliable in all that time.

The green I have now makes 1.9 I think and waiting for Jase to map it to 2.0+

One problem I have is that my Defi only goes to 2.0 so if you do decide to go green, you'll need to uprate your boost guage too.

PS no oil issues here

Mine goes into reset mode at 4500rpm, Defi says NO! :-D
