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.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
