Low Turbo Pressure as a Result of Tuning

[praisethenes]

a drop in filter should not cause problems. The downpipe could get boost control off but I´ve never seen it on keihins

Also I have custom downpipe. But it makes no sense to me that the car's pressure doesn't rise.

Any increase in power is going to come with an equal increase in wheel spin. The FL5 is at the limit of FWD traction to begin with. It's a great car, but honestly, you're throwing money out the window trying to make it something it's not. For the price of the car + mods, you're talking nice 997S or 996 turbo territory, let alone so many other more capable options.

I am not knocking the CTR, it's just that using a baseball bat for a game of tennis doesn't make a lot of sense either. I'd suggest enjoying the car for what it is, a fantastic FWD backroad destroyer, and put your money into something that will yield compound interest vs compound issues.

To add something to this just for clarification. Boost by gear can be done and you won’t have any traction issues while making the car significantly faster. So you can have your cake and eat it too.

I can't understand why my car won't boost turbo pressure. I'm waiting for Hondata to support. But it is not clear that Hondata will support it.

We just tried one more file, turbo pressure was increased in the map and torque limiter was canceled, we think the problem is caused by the pedal map, but we cannot find the pedal map in the ECU. I can share the stock file if anyone thinks they can find the pedal map.
