    Limplimplimp Be Gone!

    Make it go away HPT, make it go away! It's been almost two years, same problem. I would sell a testicle for a simple solution make the overboost tables available/disappear! I want to run 25,30,35 psi without going into limp mode!

    QFT. You could invest in an IAT/MAP tricker, but that requires careful tuning, and I would also recommend alcohol injection at that point as some additional insurance against knock when running significantly higher boost pressures.

    BTW, spinner, do you have a larger turbo installed? From what I've read, the stock turbo can make a ~ 30psi spike in the midrange but will barely sustain 22 psi to redline on our stock engine.

    Big turbo. I have an IAT/MAP tricker, but dont like it installed. Car runs like shit not at WOT with it on, and still throws limp at wot.

    If you purchased it from dejon, maybe try working with them to get it tuned properly at WOT? They claim to have some success with it so I'd have no problem holding them to some tech support.

    I wasn't expecting that, but i'm extremely grateful! no overboost + meth injection + 26 PSI from 2500-5000 RPM = my new 400 ft-lb toy

    So will there be an announcement for the latest beta, or should we just contact you at the end of the week?

    I'll try to make a post in this thread, you can contact support with your serial number and your .hpt file & link to this thread with the subject Bosch overboost beta so I can check to make sure the table(s) were added for your specific os before I post it to your account.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Oldschool, let us know what you have got and if you haven't been on KappaPerformance.com, join there and educate us there. I'm looking at getting a meth kit.

    I'm already at 402 ft-lbs torque at 23psi, stock turbo with big wheel upgrade; only 300whp though. This was done on a dyno dynamics.
