Hi guys

i've just purchased a turbotech manual boost controller and need a bit of advice about where it goes. I understand that it is to be installed in the tube between the turbo and waste gate actuator. I have identified where i think it should go on the pic below, could someone please confirm this, or instruct otherwise?

Cheers

Jeremy

Here you go. Bassicaly, remove the T-piece and install the controller the, the inlet side is the one opposite the bolt, the side is the outlet. BE carfull with these, make sure they are unscrewed just about out when you firt start to test, mine after one turn was at 10psi.

Disconnect the cable link form the original controller and either plug up the vacume hose or leave connected, makes no differance. Hope that helps.

BTW these controllers rock.

Thanks for your prompt replies. Could I be a pain and ask that you put a photo of your's installed. I'm a bit confused about which way it should point and why it couldn't just be placed between the two tubes I identified, because isn't that controller now redundant? Sorry that i don't understand this shit better...

humm digy not working.

The controller does go in between two tubes, but the main two tubes, you remove the T pice that is there currently. So basically that is the wastgate actuator not the selenoid, then disconect the standard selenoid.

there is a section in the forum about these i tried to search but no good, i'll try tomorrow for you

does any one know where the top hose on the selenoid goes to and how does it control the boost the actuator is set at 7psi how does it go down to 5.

Edited by RB SANDY

The hose connected to the top of the standard selenoid, goes to the vacume side of the intake, before the turbo, it is there to help the selenoid work , that it, nothing else, once the selenoid is not being used, it can be disconnected.

The standard selenoid, simply opens at 5 psi, a signal form the computer earths out the valve and sets the it to 7psi, or there abouts, they are not supper acurate.

TRUST me it will work, i have done this to two cars now, and they are all fine. I will take a picture over the weekend and post it up.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
