how much boost does a stock tii make at idle?

it should be pulling vaccum at idle

didnt think about that...



when does the boost come on?

Are you serious?

i am serious, i dont know where to look to find this stuff. im just wondering at what rpm does the boost come on, and how much is there at various rpms

yo it makez 50 bar at idle son yo reelllllll

i have 15-22 inhg at idle, and i star making boost about 1900rpm, i can't really push it hard till i get my Rtek ecu, walbro and my new clutch.

Ummm.... Not sure if this is what you want to hear but you start making boost when you hit the accelerator. If you are cruising at 2k rpms chances are you arent on boost. If you punch it then you start to boost up. Depends on the load I guess. If you are in neutral and rev up to boost it will kick in at about 3.5k.

My boost kicks at about 1800-2000rpms when floored, haha boost at idle?

well theres got to be some kind of boost at idle, unless the wg or the bov is relieving it. theres gonna be boost anytime theres exhaust coming out.



so what would happen if there was about 1.64-2psi at idle?

I dont know for sure, but some correct me if I am wrong. But the compressor wheel is not spinning very fast, and therefore is not making any boost that the motor does not need.

yes, the compressor is still pushing some air. the 'boost' is a measure of the pressure in the intake tract. at idle the engine is pulling vaccum, and is not pressurized enought to read 'boost'.

how would it depend on load?!?! if you floor it is just come on quicker because you get to that rpm quicker.



and boost not under load?!?!? with a stock turbo i don't think its possable!! i only get to 0psi.

so if i had something pushing 2 psi into the intake at idle would that be alright? the psi will increase with rpm, but i dont know the numbers yet.

i don't know how your getting boost at not underload? but if you rev it you should only get less vacuum NOT boost!!

YA when you rev at idle you get 0vac but also 0psi, it just goes to 0.

do you even understand how a turbo works?

who are you refering to?

Shane, it will not hurt the engine at idle as long as you have the extra fuel at idle. It will most likely make your idle higher.



I know I could boost in neutral. It was only a few psi, but it still boosted. At idle, you only pull vac. because your TB is closed.



Jedi is correct. The load on the engine will determine the speed of the turbo spinning. Thats why you can only get a few psi in neutral and any amount in gear at WOT. More load = more exahust pressure = more boost. Pretty simple.

Yah, where is your gauge tap? I have a hard time believing you've got any boost at idle. I'd say your gauge is bonkers.
