Will it breakdown ? Much boost ?

Post by |RS| » Wed Sep 28, 2011 10:40 pm

Hello, i recentrly restore all my 480 turbo, and go for a drive firs times, i install a precise turbo boost gauge, and for my surprise, my turbo boost is 1.2 bar. My mods are, Direct exhaust with oem final backbox, conic air filter, fuel pressure regulator at 3.5 bar (+/-), the car is brutal....if i conect the vaccum of the ecu it cuts (safemode), so i am running without the vaccum tube, is it bad ? The car is only for weekends, and its revised every 5000km. Is it too much boost ? The engine is perfet and have only 59000km !
