I got a 2013 Golf R from a dealership a few years back and mine hits 25 psi. I know it has aftermarket downpipes and exhaust but must be chipped too? Any ideas?
Why does a turbo have a higher rpm?
A larger turbo will hold that psi to a higher rpm when the engine consumes more air and produce more HP due to higher torque at higher rpm. It won't produce more power when boost pressure is equal in the rpm band. Click to expand... Same boost pressure at the same rpm engine doesn't mean anything.
What happens if you upgrade to a bigger turbo?
If you upgrade to a bigger turbo, and your motor is consuming the same amount of air as before, you just wasted a lot of money.
What does it mean when you have the same boost pressure at the same RPM?
Same boost pressure at the same rpm engine doesn't mean anything. It means that there is something else affecting the power. cfm is what really affects power. The R has less resistance and allows for more air per cycle. It's something you learn modifying diesels.
Does a turbo motor produce more heat?
You can't simply say that. A smaller turbo will always produce more heat at a given pressure. The less heat, the denser the air, hence, more air in the motor. Also, there's less back pressure because of a larger turbine, etc...
