boost problem
got some problem after i setup front mount intercooler. before i setup it up, i was 0.9 bar....after i change it...first gear full throttle has 0.6 bar only, second gear 0.7 and third gear 0.9 bar...........isn't it every gear has the same boost?????????

Re: boost problem
Nope every gear doesnt have the same boost, the city hasnt got much boost control so if you have decent flow you will always run a higher boost in 3rd (except if you run a fancy boost controller like mine :p)[third gear boosts the highest cause there is the most load on the engine with it still being able to rev easyish]
The reason you are getting less boost is because the intercooler adds lag by adding volume to the system.
With my home-made boost controller with its hold-off function it holds the wastegate shut until a pre-determined time so i can boost 16psi easy in any gear, even first. It also means boost comes on VERY quickly and I get mad wheelspin in 1st and second in the wet.
