how are they niceer tho?

this is a question your tuner should be able to answer rather nicely.

electronic boost controllers have been proven time and time again at being better at managing boost curves than bleed valves.

that being said, the turbotech manual boost controller has received a lot of praise from a shit load of people for its ability to maintain boost. i think because unlike a bleed valve, it doesnt allow air to bleed slowly to the wastegate (hence its name, "bleed valve") which can cause spiking, but snaps open and allows all the air to hit the wastegate at once when it reaches the pressure you set it at.

in short, get an ebc.

adrian, google -> careerone -> criteria: apprentice, paint.

Cara, I highly suggest speaking to a TUNER, someone who is in the know, not "someone told me this, someone told me that" That way they can sit you down, let you know what you need and why, then you can go from there with the confidence you're doing things right

Steve, very nice, I'd like one of them in my car!

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
