hey guys im sending a turbo away for repairs so im putting the stock turbo on,

i have a turbosmart manual boost control and i wanted to know how much psi it runs when "Fully closed"

and how much u get for each click "roughly" as i dont have a boost gauge and cant get 1 untill next week

how much psi/clicks should i goto safely with a standard setup?

and should i put the PFC in "standard" and tweak the injectors or should i not do that.

Agreed ^^ - massive backyard fail.

No boost gauge = DO NOT ADJUST.

Every car/setup is different. Play with fire, you will get burned.

Also do not go putting in injectors and hammering away thinking its going to go OK on the stock map.

Have the boost configured when you get the tune - not before. Simple as that.

No way around it, get a boost gauge. Cheap ones from autobarn/supercrap only run around $40-50 anyway, very easy to install yourself too. There's no excuse to not have one I think.

sorry i didnt realise i said i was putting injectors in and then playing with the pfc. :D

all i said was should i tweak the injectors aka "standard injectors" if i run higher boost levels...

so the car doesnt run lean.

but neways ill wait and grab that boost gauge before i change anything.

this is a fail on so many levels

do you even know how a maunal boost controller works ? go and do some research

tell us what mods you have to your car

at the moment i only have my 3" turbo back exhaust and a fmic on the car.

i have so many more parts here but im going on holidays so its a job for later.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
