Hey all,

Can some one post pictures of boost controller and boost gauge installed on their 1KZ engine? And please advise what is the pressure for the turbo on 1KZ?
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Maxim

Mick,

I have read it already, found it very interesting and helpful. Do you have boost gauge installed as well?

Re: Boost controller and boost gauge

Just installed a boost gauge today to get a base line reading before I put on the boost controller. What sort of boost readings are people getting stock? I'm getting 0.8 bar max, so would it be right to say I wouldn't want to wind up the boost any more than that??

That's about 11.5 psi (Rough maths) Pretty high for a stock vehicle.

The max you can run easily/safely run is 14.7 (1BAR) however there's not much to be gained without adding more fuel.
