So I am a little embarrassed to say but I have come to realize that I may not really know how to operate my Turbo SS. This is the first Turbo vehicle I have owned and I have no clue what all I am reading, what is good or bad. I have been driving my SS all summer and probably should have asked these questions earlier but I thought I would just figure it all out. Guess not.
I have a Hahn stage 2 Turbo running 8lbs with a Kaso AFR/boost gauge. A very early setup from 2015.
When I am idling the gauge normally reads right at 14.7 (I know thats a good thing). As soon as I give it gas and start to drive it hard it jumps way up into the low to mid 20s. Then when I shift into the next gear it drops real low before I gun it again. After I have settled down mashing thru the gears and am just cruising its floats around 14-16 AFR range. Its hard to give the exact numbers as I am paying attention to my driving and not the gauge.
Is this normal? Should I be worried? I havent done ANYTHING with the engine since I have bought the SS from the original owner and I know he took great care of the bike. But I will admit I do drive the snoot out of her 99% of the time.
Any other tips/tricks/advice you have for someone who has never owned a turbo engine before? I am very mechanically inclined and do all my own work (minus tranny stuff) but this is new terf for me.
