tooquicktostop Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Think I know the answer but best to check I test drove a BPU Auto today, it was making 0.9bar boost max on all 4 settings of the boost controller, it was making 1.1bar before I was told Now the factors that could be effecting this in my mind are 1. The car had just been MOT'd and the cat was put back in,it was still in for the test drive 2. The RLTC was on WET and it was wet so it may have been cutting power although it did not feel like a power cut 3. The car has not run for several months and may need a service although this is not likely to cause a boost drop The rest of the drive was great and I hope to own it very soon, just want some thoughts on the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If RLTC was cutting in you would have known about it (bangs etc), the boost controller would have still logged max boost as whatever it read, so if it only read 0.9 bar chances are it only ever saw 0.9 BAR, I doubt it was the RLTC (no 2). No 3 is as you say unlikely, I would go with No 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonytotheB Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just asking which Supra you were testing/checking out? Curious to see advert is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Definitely the cat if it's the second one, my 2nd cat restricts boost by about .2 bar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 My guess would be 2nd cat. You could always ask the guy who owns the car if the cat is still in. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
