Installing Boost Controller

[Taso84]

Ok, just purchased a turbotech boost controller, hooked it up and for some reason, its not goning past stock boost.

Here is a pic before I put it in

And here is a pic of how I put it in, basically I bypassed the stock solenoid

have i done this right? Also I have done the stock solenoid grounding mod, does that have anything to do with it?

Hey i just realisd that mayb its not working becoz of the hose connecting the actuator to the BOV that i put in when i installed my FMIC.

Do u think this will work instead?

form what i can see you have that all wrong, the bleed valve needs to be between the pressure source and the actuator. if you have an r32 with standard turbo you will need to run the line from the turbo to the bleed valve and then run a line from the bleed valve to the actuator, and from memory the arrow on the bleed valve points towards the actuator (not 100% sure on that but should be in the instructions of the bleeder).

if you have any other turbo that doesn't have a pressure source on the compressor cover then run the lin from another source like the line to the BOV (but i would recommend something beofre the throttle body and dont have anything else running from it helps to stop spiking).

hope that helps

the stock pipe which connects from the intake to the T connector has a little restrictor in it also, so you goto replace that pipe 2

madness, ill try it out 2moro morning. On th instructions, it specifically said tho to connect the one end to the turbo hose and the other to the actuator hose.

Security, in ur diagram, do u also block off the turbo hose? and whats the prefered method to block it? screw?

oops, wasn't actually thinking of the direction as i don't own that brand...just trying to help with the location.

Anyway, block that hose with a screw is fine as long as it's air tight.

I actually used fibreglass re-inforced sticky tape.

Hasn't let me down yet
