Hey guys,

I have the Turbosmart bleeder type boost controller.

It's not installed at the moment but when it was in, you have the increased boost plus the boost coming on earlier....alot earlier.

Well, believ it or not, i don't like it like that cause i do alot of city commuting and prefer a smoother ride, too jerky with it coming on soo quick, and noisy to with the ol' pod.

My question is....

------------------

If i remove the little ball and spring inside it, will that stop the wastgate/pressure/delay thingy happening and still get extra boost with the pressure-bleeding still working???

Thanks....Birnie

Just for a bit of history so people can search it up later.....

I removed the spring and ball from inside the boost controller and it all works fine just how i wanted it.

Also, i had it installed once before and had no control over the boost. It would spool up real fast cause of the delay in pressure to the actuator, but when it hit over 4500revs for the programmed in 7psi bit, it would go nuts right up to 14+ psi. And yes i had it screwed right in for zero boost.

Now with the ball removed, it all works fine. Easy fine adjustment as expected with the screw top.

Now i want a standard air box cause damn my car is noisy and i don't wanna deffect notice. :D

Cya! Birnie

    • 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 😂
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
