Leaving Skid Marks
Did an interesting tune today, VR4 Legnum with an aftermarket intercooler and the red silicone plumbing.
Starting from stock, at 7psi and stock maps, gave 135kW.
Finished at 14psi tailing off to 12psi, produced a solid and reasonably flat 185kW.
From memory (frequently faulty) a stock Evo9 makes about the same, so this Leggy pulled pretty well.
The limiting factor turned out to be the intercooler, which basically enforced a boost limit of 14psi, after that the air must have been roasting. I am sure I've had better results with the HDi intercooler though.
