dont look at peak, look at boost made through the gear, the better spring holds boost better, stock boost drops off faster

Ahh on another note just lookn at ma spreadsheet noticed it says absolute pressure the 2nd colum on block 115 peek is 2340mbar so x 0.0145037738= psi This equates to 35.244. Wtf 35 psi on a stage 2 revo with a ko3s. Am I missing somthing? Lol

Think i need to buy the microsoft excel to see my results
on a graph coz the vcds graph doesnt show a scale :s that way i could see how they level off. Hows u mean stock boost drops off faster like compairing the 2nd column to the 1st?

With stock k03s, the boost hits peak and then drops rapidly, with forge dv, boost drops slower

But the boost drops slower but still can't get any higher than the peak on the map. The only reason the boost drops slower is because Tw dv is more efficient in recirculating it back into the turbo. The turbo is still producing the same pressure regardless of the dump valve.

Got my spring kit but no car :-(.

It's at MJ's for a retrim. Won't get it back till Feb 4th.

But to be honest having spoken to revo tuner they recommend the yellow spring. So will fit that one for now.

Then once I get the hybrid on I will see what Bill (Badger5) recommends the blue or to stay with the yellow.

Also having a spring that is too strong is not good for the turbo. It can cause damage. I'm sure your aware of this anyway.

The higher boost as rpm decreases allows for power to be held longer

Try testing on a dyno
