turbo smart boost controller

[gexiaowen]

I have a under bonnet boost controller, those turn ones. Any one know how to adjust them?? on the indicator it says turn clock wise to increase boost, anti clock wise to decrease boost. and i can hear click sound once i make each turn. exactly how many boost by each turn?? and would increase or decrease boost effect my fuel consumption?? thanks

the turbosmart ones are meant to be about 1psi per click

if you increase your boost the car will drink more petrol, and probably run very rich..

dont play around with it unless you have a boost gauge, you might set it too high and destroy your turbo

cheers man,, i'll adjust to around 6 or 7 clicks, hopefully thats gonna save me some petrol. currently running on 11clicks. She flies and so does my petrol

i would probably leave it as it was, as i said, dont change it unless you know what boost its running, make sure it doesnt go near the top of the stock boost gauge whatever you do!

Your right foot will have more effect on fuel consumption than turning a dial under the bonnet.

As mentioned, if you are playing around with boost settings get a boost gauge. How else you gonna answer the 15 year old kids when they say " How much boost has it got?". "11 clicks dude" LOL

yeah, i have a boost gauge measured in kg/cm square. it shows around 0.5 bar when i floor it which equals to around 7-8psi.

What ever you dont trust the stock boost guage for any amount of money. A lot of people new to the turbo scene can get caught very easy with this.
