More and more folks are stretching the rules IMHO. I'm just afraid of one claiming all the boost came from computer tuning and exhaust (both of which are free). I can't prove otherwise, and that's an

Controlling boost in SP (or any other class) is a tough problem. I suppose that's why the SCCA outlawed turbo cars in Showroom Stock several years ago (I used to road race an MR2 Turbo in the former

The service manual for my VW GTI with the 1.8T lists only a pressure range that the boost level should normally operate under. No mention of what the "stock" boost pressure is set at from the factory
Some cars (such as many Audis) regulate manifold pressure to an absolute level, not a relative one, to compensate for altitude. So while an Audi S4 might have 9 psi of boost at sea level, it could be
Probably why all of the measurements in the ECU are in absolute pressure (i.e. 2.2 bar max) and that the ECU also monitors atmospheric pressure as a variable as well. Regards, -- Erik Van-der-Mey htt
Well, this is definitely a difficult issue and has been around morethen a few times. Wonder why? From where I stand it is because theproblem is not correctly labeled. Usually this comes up like turbo
