LO setting (hits 1.1bar when i floor it then bleeds down to 0.85bar then creeps back up to 0.95bar)
-54%
-gain: 13%
-set gain 0.50 x 100kpa
HI setting (hits 1.2 bar then bleeds down to 1bar then creeps back up to 1.15bar)
-62%
-gain: 13%
-set gain 0.66 x 100kpa
these are the settings i have done myself, the boost control was alot worse than this when i got it back from my tuner, it would hit 1.2bar on HI setting then bleed down to 1 bar.
by increasing the duty cycle of the wastegate and lowering the set gain, i managed to improve the average boost level but it seems that my solenoid is just not setup correctly, making it hard to get the settings right.
im thinking that if i can set it up properly, manipulating the settings should be this hard
My solenoid was mounted in the stock boost solenoids position, the vacuum line at the very back of the plenum was pulled out, this was the line that went to my actuators, a vac line was then put onto that nipple and back to the actuator as a pressure source.
this time round, im going to mount the solenoid on the turbo side of the engine with much shorter and equal length lines to the actuators
or.. i can manipulate the stock boost solenoid to give me 1.3bar of boost
or i can just buy hks actuators lol
