Hey fellas

I sold my power fc d-jetro and going to run an adaptronic which has a built in boost controller

I got a 3 port mac valve to control the boost

Is 1 on the valve from pressure source (eg from turbo housing/inter cooler piping) and 2 goes to wastegate while 3 is left venting?

Also I have a GFB EX50 wastegate with 2 ports, do I connect to the top or bottom port?

Any info would be great, thanks

There are many ways to set it up, depending what boost you plan to run. The Turbosmart website shows most of them.

I used a different 5 port MAC valve on mine, switching top and bottom wastegate ports separately, bleeding one port while actuating the other. I have perfect boost control from gate pressure, (18psi), to 30psi with only minimal drop off.

with my old blitz boost controller I had the solenoid going to the top port of the wastegate, then the bottom port when to the turbo compressor housing port

that way worked perfect and held boost perfectly but im reading a heap of different stuff so im confused

I did mine how the blitz boost controoler manual recomnds with gate top port goes to out on controoler solonoid, gate bottom port to turbo housing and finally source close to throttle body to solonoid in port. Holds boost perfect.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
