how much boost??

**Dumpy** · 30-04-2003, 14:54

Just sold my GRS cooler so how much boost can I run on a std S2 cooler????

as much as you want but the issue is heat soak, if the act's get too high you might want to run less boost, so the answer is monitor your act's

I've just ordered one of Mike R's act gauges to keep on eye on the temps, I'll be getting a Pace intercool when funds allow, so I can see the difference.

How much are these act guages?

And do you have any piccys of them?

About £30 off the top of my head. Mine is in the old Ford Amp. Sadly not switched on so you can;t see the display

£40 , a bit dearer than I thought, but cheaper than a new engine.

Where did you guys get those from then?

A chap on the RSOC BBS, I'll post his email address when I can find it.

**FF_Mark** · 30-04-2003, 16:14

As I haven't got mine yet, I can only assume that this pics shows where the sensor goes (the smaller wire)
