Default Boosting an ep3

I'm definitely planning to boost my upcoming EP3. Unless anyone suggests not to.

So my question is, if the ep3's are worth boosting and if they can handle the forced induction well. The one I'm getting comes with Hondata already so it's a big help not having to pay for it separately. So I MUST boost and not waste the opportunity!

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Depends on your power goal, i know several guys making over 300 with boosted stock a3 reliably, if your wanting a good bit more than that i suggest, swapping an a2 or z1 in it.

300 on stock ?

That's all I need haha. I was expecting like 230 to be the max or something, and honestly 230 is where I'd be satisfied, but it's good to know I got plenty of room for comfort and not worrying about hurting the car.

Thanks! I'm definitely boosting then

If 230 is your goal that is easily accomplished safely.

I have more torque than that hahahaha
