I finished my tune at 10 but tuner said there is slight room to play with so I'm tuning for 11 psi right now. Everything still stock except clutch, running 93.


Wanted a boosted car as well and sold my motorcycle to fund it 4 months back.



Do you have a turbo blanket as well? I also agree that you should have your AC looked at/recharged, and take a look at your AC lines in the front. Early people who installed oil coolers didn't route the SS lines correctly and so it acted like a saw, cutting through the aluminum AC line when driving/vibrating.

Ceramic coat the manifold, exhaust wrap too, get a turbo blanket. What is your AFR, IAT, oil temps and coolant temps? Is your thermostat opening?

Here's an example:

IAT = Intake Air Temperature.

Where is your oil cooler located? It will saturate your radiator with heat if it's right in front of it

..shit i assumed the people who installed it for me would know that. Cuz the way its set up rn is my intercooler right in the front then its either my oil cooler or condenser then rad

Your AFR is 14? On boost? What’s your target?

I don’t think that is accurate. People run oil coolers, FMIC, trans coolers, etc in front of radiators all the time. I don’t believe the ambient air can extract enough heat to make a difference, meaning, if the ambient air is 20 degrees Celsius and the oil is 100 degrees Celsius then the air leaving the oil cooler isn’t even close to 100 degrees. Moreover, the oil cooler isn’t blocking much of the radiator.

If you are running 14:1 then your IATs will be fine, but your EGTs will likely be high, and the engine will run hotter. You will make more power, but you will also increase your chances of detonation. I doubt you are running 14:1. Most boosted cars have a goal of 12:1 on boost with some variation.

Get a bluetooth OBDII reader and the torque app on your phone. Should be able to see some numbers that way.


I also have my mishimoto oil cooler in front of my radiator, behind my turbo's cooler. About 2 inches of spacing between each.
