sc is the bottleneck in the system

fuel is an easy fix

is the "easy" part a recent development? Specifically, avoiding a lean AFR condition at high-load, high-rpm situations for aggressively boosted M112K's (I'd say a 185 lower and C3P upper would qualify ).

nope, but you won't make power. More boost doesnt equal more power...

In theory, it should work.

1) Voltage clamp: remove the boost limit (I am looking into this)
2) 178mm/185mm + Code3 pulley/Sanded down pulley: increase boost to 23+ (I am ready for this)
3) Modified intake manifold + Bigger/ported throttle body: More air and lower the boost (looking into ported throttle body)
4) Headers + exshaut works: more in, more out (I am ready for this)
5) If the A/F is an easy fix as claim (I don’t think it’s an easy fix for stacked pulleys)

And tune... It should work. The problem here is tune. If somehow in the world I know how to tune it should work.

i heard its also because the intercooler is so small that more boost past a certain point won't really net anymore power since the air gets so hot. At least thats what vadim was telling me.

i think we can gain a lot of power if we can figure some kind of top mounted/ front mounted intercooler solution.

i agree 1000000%.....too much boost, too much heat, no point of more boost b/c the extra power is lost through the extra heat/higher IATs

which is why my post above asks for a top mount SLR style I/C or SOMETHING. lol.

so who's gonna do it first?

its been done..people were getting boost cels since they were boosting over 22psi. You need a map clamp or something to get around the boost error from the map sensor.

code3 there use to offer a mid pulley where it was a 178 and 70 code3. It seem to work out well. But i think it ended up just being similiar to a 185.
