bleed valve running too high??

[51OOO]

guys just bought a turboX boost controller,hooked it up and have played with it for hours!!! and the loweset i can get it going it is 13 psi,with spikes up to a 15! car is a r32 gtst full 3 inch, high flow cat , pod,bov,why is it so high and is this safe?

cheers

thats a bit too much (especially in this weather with no FMIC), so yeah that would be doing a bit of damage not only to the turbo but to the motor, i say rip that shit out and get some EBC if you want to do it right....

yeh man get a EBC i got a bleeder and its shit....they may be cheap to buy but if it spikes bad and you run too much boost you can **** ur turbo and engine. Im getting a avc-r soon plus my bleeder doesnt hold boost properly its all over the place

have you got it setup right ?:S

cause we use turbosmart bleedvalve an we can run what ever boost we want ?

(r33 gtst)

spikes on a bleedvalves are common. their not to good for holding boost either.

have you got a pic of how its setup ?

Here is a pic (attached) of how it is setup. From the picture you can see that the bottom hose goes to the wastegate whilst the hose on the left goes down and to the turbo. It was setup as the instructions said and is set up the same as on my brother's 180. The instructions say to never let the fine adjusting screw more then 2 turns from fully closed otherwise lag will occur. If I set it to 2 or more turns then it spikes past 15psi. So it is now set at less then 2 turns. The coarse adjusting valve is also set as low as it can go. I'm not real sure what the problem is only thing I can think of is that the hoses have some kind of problem ?

One end should be plugged into the actuator line on your turbo and the other off the pressure reading from the cooler piping. Make sure it is connected the right way, coz when u close the valve fully it should run les than 7psi which is the stock boost

instructions say to hook it up to the actuator and the other to the end to the turbo ??i ahve a r32 as well so i am pretty sure stnd boost is 9-10?

[Guest INASNT]

u hook 1 to the wastegate line on the turbo and the other to a pressure line on the intake (cooler pipe is easiest), thats how it reads the 2 different pressures

Thats right

it should look somthing like this. one goes to the actuator and the other hose coming off the bleedvalve should go to the intercooler pipe
