Spook33 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 People i'm having a problem with my boost controller i brought from Mark. i love this product it can not be beaten for bang for bucks. but rercently it was boosting hard until about 3.5 grand then seems to be restricted. at first i thought it was just me but gradually it got worse until the last few days were i would put my foot down it would pull hard till 3.5 grand then pretty much nothing. though it maybe something else but last night i removed the boost controller now the car is running fine ??? any ideas people sure i had installed it correctly. maybe the spring was getting stuck ??

Ska Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Or maybe you were hitting full boost by 3.5 grand and therefore didnt "seem" like it was pulling any harder.............? What boost were you running?

What boost were you running? was runnig arount 10 psi. maybe that was the case to start with but before i removed it, it would hit 3 to 3.5 and would stuggle to get to 4 grand. up until 3 grand car felt fine.

Not liking this service too much... yes. i know what you mean. sent email requesting payment details (wanted to purchase with SAU discount) waited a week. then i thought fu k it. will just get it off ebay, seeing as most ppl are saying service is mega fast etc etc. paid on ebay, accidently did bank transfer instead of credit card, two days later... not received one email from him. emailed him twice to confirm that hes got a payment pending, took 3 days to reply. the funds cleared the day after he replied. emailed him once the day it cleared, and another the day after, now its been 3 days since funds have cleared. no email, no ebay message. ffs!!! if you dont have time for this, then maybe you shouldnt have so many "buyitnow" items listed on ebay!!!!!!! if he checked emails/ebay/paypal say once a day...i would have received the thing by now!!!! now im not even sure if its been shipped off or anything. but i doubt it since theres no replies to email.....arhhh....FFS!!

Thunderbolt Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 was runnig arount 10 psi. maybe that was the case to start with but before i removed it, it would hit 3 to 3.5 and would stuggle to get to 4 grand. up until 3 grand car felt fine. I'd more likely think that it was related to something else, unless you can clearly see that it is dropping boost on the gauge. Could be any number of other issues such as fuel supply.

Ska Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Some people actually have lives you know! Be paitient and wait for it, it will come. I paid then just like you was worried after about 2weeks, then the day after 2weeks I got it. What are you expecting for $35, constant satelite tracking with a 20 man armed guard escort, delivered by Delta force commandos in silent running blackhawks. FFS this guy has a life that does not revolve around YOU. He has a wife and kids and other much more important responcabilities so stop acting like my 8yo daughter does when she cant have a lolly at the checkout. If you had bother to actually read a bit of this thread you would've seen that some guys waited up to three weeks for theirs to be delivered. He makes these in his spare time, and it is not his full time job, and other things happen like suppliers not being able to supply parts need for production, so calm down and wait.

Jolinator Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) the fact he makes them himself is irelivent, if you are taking peoples money for a product you are running a buisness, if so you need to act professionaly and not piss off for 2 weeks, then when people get a little qustionable as to were there money is, tell them how you have a life and you dont give a rats ass, i have had an issue with the turbotech which caused insane overboosting due to the failure of it, i dont want to go into it here, but i would have thought within 3 weeks i would have got a return to my pm Edited July 30, 2006 by Jolinator Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/54/#findComment-2368498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris davey Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have my controller hooked up to the bottom port and the top port is not connected to anything. Went for first test drive the other day and the controller definitely didn't open the wastegate. I set boost cut in my ecu at 20psi and it hit boost cut. I have a 15psi spring in my 50mm trust wastegate. I was expecting 16psi or so. I have installed it per the instructions. I will post a pic showing how it is installed. Which way do people have the adjusting part facing? I have mine so that the line going to the wastegate comes out and connects to the controller. You look along the controller and the adjustment part is at the end of that.

chris davey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I am 99% sure it is supposed to be to the bottom port. If you feed pressure to the top port then it acts against the pressure from the bottom port. As this is still a bleed type system then pressure should be blead off the bottom port. If someone has one of these working on an external gate setup, please let me know.

No Crust Racing Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I installed mine today in a mates car for testing and at first it just boosted full pelt until we closed the throttle, pulled it apart and found the spring was jammed inside it, used a long thin piece of metal to un-jam it. got it working very easily after that, recommend this to anyone as a good cheap boost controller but be aware that the adjustments are very tiny Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/54/#findComment-2387247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
