How do I increase a turbo-charged car's horsepower?
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2007 6:08 am
The easiest and the most common way is to increase the boost pressure. This can be achieved by fitting a Boost Controller which allows you to increase the boost pressure to the threshold of your engine's capacity.
How much can I increase my boost pressure by?
In general 10%-20% is safe on most engines, however for more accurate information you should consult your local performance technician
If I increase the boost, will I need a Fuel Cut Defender?
It is recommended that you fit a Fuel Cut Defender if you increase the boost over the factory level. Fitting an FCD will prevent your car's ECU cutting the fuel once the factory boost pressure has been passed
Can I use a Boost Controller on a turbo diesel car?
Yes, our Boost Controllers are currently being used in hundreds of turbo diesel applications, including cars, 4WDs, light trucks, boats and even tractors! For it to be effective however, the fuel delivery needs to be increased
