Hi Sifu's,
my car just suddenly over boosting after i changed a air filter...
Will changing an air filter & b.o.v affect my car tune setting?
My current Low Boost set on 1 bar but most of the time boost meter shown 1.15 to 1.18bar
High Boost set on 1.4 bar but also over boost to 1.55 to 1.59bar

Anyone hv any idea abt this? Will it be save for me to ignore this over boosting matter since my tuner hv set the warning limit to 1.2bar for low boost and im runing a PFC ecu which will alert me when knocking level is high?

Thanks

Did you forgot to put back the carpet?:listen:
I think it normal for big turbo user like yours to have a little spike of boost... adjust the gain at the boost controller if you have one.

To all,

I drive Saga BLM 2008, had installed adjust. absorber and strut bar (front and rear).

Problem:
this year alone, i have changed the rear wheel bearing 3 times. to be exact, in April, July and August. I drive my car hard daily esp while cornering and expect wear n tear to be terrible. But to change rear bearing after 1 month is ridiculous.....

Can any1 help advise possible reason this is happening. Is there such aftermarket wheel bearing that longer lasting
