Having Manual Boost Controller Problem

[azn_nick69]

hey guys.. i just brought a manual boost controller and installed into my r32, one hose is coming from the wastegate to the boost controller then the other hose comes from the turbo. is that right? cause when i brought the car there was 2 hoses already there but they were connected.

when it hit boosts then the car started jerking. it sounds like its hitting the a limiter. but i dont know wats going on? can anyone help

Sounds like you are hitting boost cut which would mean it is more than likely not hooked up correctly. Have you made sure the boost controller is turned right down?

Also have you got the hoses round the right way? does it have an arrow or some indication on which hose should go to wastegate?

Also usually the other hose needs to pick up manifold pressure but you say it is hooked to turbo can you be more specific?

Also what type of boost controller do you have?

In most cases there will be an arrow on the tee, make sure this side points to the wastegate.

Secondly, you've got the boost wound up too high and it's hitting the boost cutout. Make sure you screw the adjuster all the way in so that if you were to blow into it, no air would escape the opposite side. Then perform your road test and wind the adjuster out in small increments until the desired boost level is achieved.

What PSI are you running?

Probably boost cut, wind down the boost.

As above, make sure its around the right way, if you don't, the actuator wont see any signal = lots of boost, boost cut and eventual FAIL.

Oh, and even if you don't do it for anything else. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for this one.

maybe be more careful with installing it propperly WAY before you go flogging your car around the street
