Re: KAMD44P-B turbo boost

Actually that's not worded real well in the chart. I would call the boosted temp after the intercooler "Charge Air Temp" or "Air Charge Temp (ACT)". That's what we use domestically and pretty universal. UK, Oz, here. What I read in that chart as intake temp, to me means ambient (engine room), not charge air temp . . . But could be wrong as it is also "intake air". Need that clarified.

Re: KAMD44P-B turbo boost

My workshop manual says ambient temp, which means I would not have to make much of an adjustment for temp. It also states that I should be making 170 kpa at 3500 rpm I'm making around 140 kpa, is 30 kpa (4.4 psi) making the difference? Here's another comparison- at 3823 rpm I'm making 158 kpa the manual says I should be making 180 kpa (3.2 psi difference). So could this lack of boost causing my performance issues?
thanks,
Andy
