Hey all,

Just installed a Turbo smart dual stage boost controller to mah baby...

Having some troubles...

Minimum boost i can set to is like heaps more than my stock boost.

And if i wind her up a touch, it cuts out.. whcih means ill need a fuel cut defender.

but curious y i cant set it any lower?

Anyone had this prob before...

Also wont switch between hig and low boost.?

did i just **** up, or just **** up... Its pretty simple stuff, but somethings gone wrong? :S

I can't help Stirlo - but did something silly myself yesterday along this line. Played with my HKS EVC III boost controller without knowing what I was doing. I did **** it up. Havent been able to find help to fix it. :(

I think we need a Local Guru who's willing to post free advice in our Forums

SkyGTRline, did you remove the factory restrictor? just near where you would have installed the aftermarket controller, there should be a stock "controller/limiter" in the hose, have a search on the forums for exact details of how to remove it if necessary

By the way, I mounted my evc on the steering column, used a 'Verbatim' lid off a box of 1.44 floppies [right size, suitably shaped] and used wurths urethane [black sticky sh1t] to hold it down. Painted it all with holts satin black double sided tape [on before the paint] and it looks like a factory job.

Photo coming.

I'd like a high/low button on the steering wheel, but I'll get to that [along with the maxima cruise control------dreams I]. Just in case it's useful to anyone...........

Thanx all, yea might have to take it to da pros...

The factory solenoid or whatever it is has been removed by the previous owner... and there is Siliocn hose runing across... which prob means there has been something in ther before.

Ill give trojan a go..

And BTW do i look like stirlo??? coz i dont think i look like stirlo.... so i think that means im not stirlo... :(

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
