Hi

I have an ArmVal BCV-11, gtec 1 and Baily dump valve, all fitted at Powerfiat over a year ago. According to my gauage I am getting 0.9 bar (standard?). Will adjusting the PRV increase the boost or is it the chip thats determining the boost level. I was looking to go to 1.1 bar.

If it can be adjusted to do this, question is how? what needs adjusting on the prv. Pics would be usefull

Cheers

Saci,

You can adjust the boost by turning the screw. Undoing the screw reduces boost, and screwing the PRV in increases the boost..this info taken from here

Before doing this however I would highly recommend you get your car health checked and rolling roaded to make sure your fueling is okay and can handle the extra boost wink

i'd personally up it to 1 bar, then get it on a RR.

I'm sure standard boost is 1 to overboost to 1.1.
