Testimonial #10: Toyota MR2 Turbo
Hi!
I received my e-Ram last week and installed it this weekend. There has been a noticable low-end power increase. I use a turbo boost controller depending on my driving mood, On for kicking-butt or off for normal "stock" mode. When it's off, I usually show a boost level of 5 or 6 PSI. When it's on and I'm set to 1.0 bar I show 14-15PSI. After installing the e-Ram and running with the boost controller off, I'm registering 9PSI. With the controller on and set at 1 bar I register 20PSI. The really cool thing about this is that I'm not increasing my EGT's (exhaust gas temp). Usually at 19PSI I reach close to 900c. Now I'm reaching high boost, lower EGT's and more power. It's almost like I've upgraded my intercooler! (I'm still running a stock I/C too!)
ok...maybe im just a dumbass...but does that make like ANY sense to anyone? im completly lost as to WTF this herb is talkin about..
Yeah, it makes perfect sense. He's clogged up his intake with that POS and his flow has fallen on its face. The air from his turbo is probably backing up behind the thing making his boost gauge (just a pressure gauge after all) read higher. Higher readings on the boost gauge are not necessarily a good thing.
