sorry about my signature, the "dfe" is supposed to be dme/ computer

Ok, autothority is old stuff. Honestly I'd start looking into another MAF setup.

Injectors look stock to me. Of course I can't be 100% sure tho.

I'd also look into some firesleeve for your fuel lines. I have the same ones but with the sleeve. It helps to keep the lines cooler right above the headers.

I NEED SOME GAUGES (AFR AND BOOST) BADLY!

Darwantae951

I bought a VDO guage from Summit Racing for 30 bucks. Measures from 30 in/hg all the way to 25psi. Lemme find a pic for ya.


I'm currently researching which WBO2 gauge I want. leaning towards the XD-16 probably.

BUT THE MASS AIRFLOW **** IS SO EXPENSIVE

I'm 16 and I am still paying payments of my 951, so that stuff will have to wait

Mass air flow systems are expensive, hence why i run an afm till i go standalone. You can keep your current system, i would just suggest you dial the boost way back before you blow it up.

There's nothing wrong with the Autothority MAF if you're using stock injectors. So, it's not clear; are you reading the boost off the stock gauge; first simple question that needs to be answered?

If you are running 1.75 bar (absolute) as shown on the factory gage, that is 11psi of boost. 11psi of boost is the factory boost level. That would be more in the range of 200hp to 250hp at the wheels.
If you swap the turbo (or injectors, fuel pressure regulator,...), you need chips that work with all your components.
What would be a 'good turbo' is a tough question, depends on what you want, generally you give up quick spool for peak horsepower.
If you are running a little lean and trying to make it run better on a budget, you could buy something like a power perfect to tune the mixture.

The stock gauge reads about 2 bar, so I think the PO might have been reading the stock boost gauge or he turned it up the turned it down.
It might only be boosting 12 psi, Im not exactly sure
I need a boost gauge soon

Darwantae951

Boost gauges aren't expensive. Start there.

dillon410021

will any boost gauge work or do I need a special one

MrPorsche951

any boost gauge will work. I have an AutoMeter in my 951

Cory9584

I like vdo since it matches the rest of the gauges

hahaha 16 with that car! WOW I hope you have a ton of natural talent or a ton of self-restraint. I doubt you have the talent, so let's hope for the restraint.

No dig on you personally, but that's not a very good first car. Seriously.

Ugg, this thread is just ugly.

First off - your running stock or slightly above stock boost. At this boost level your in the low-200rwhp range. Nobody wants your estimated hp/tq. Especially when no K26/6 has made 300rwhp (don't bring up Johns –his was most likely was a cheater k26/6).
Second, get a boost gauge. They are not expensive, even for a 16year old (especially if you live in the house in your avitar).
Finally, your MASS Air Flow stuff is fine. Is there better stuff, sure. But for the level of performance your at, there really isn't a need to spend the money for a better setup.

Enjoy the car, save your money for when stuff breaks. Or for dates - 16 with a Porsche, shouldn't be hard to get a date or two.
