All bleed style boost controllers suffer from this problem. we have also found that boost drops off in top gear. Best way to solve this problem is to install Turbosmart E'Boost. E'Boost 1 is on special for $600 as new E'Boost has been released. They work prime with no spiking or boost bleed.

Mate, honestly I wouldn't even bother with a bleed valve. They all spike and suffer when trying to hold boost up the top of the rev range. Save your pennies and get a Turbo Smart E-Boost. They're on super sale at the moment for $600.00.

Remove the faulty bleed in the mean time.

yeh i was looking at them...they look pretty neat and have heaps of functions hey.

They have heaps of safety features which eliminate overboost, as well as excellent wastegate controll. you can keep gate closed for longer which brings boost on harder & faster. there are also outputs for launch control or N.O.S etc

Hey

what type of bleed valve do you have at the moment, so we no to stay clear of it :D ???

BTW is there a electronic boost controller.. that doesnt have heaps of functions and is realy cheap ? Paying like $400-600 for a boost controller is like half the cost of an ecu :rofl:

I've just picked my self up a cheapo ball and spring type bleeder. Its not actually a bleeder, the knob adjusts the tension held on the ball.

Should work well as I've had a similiar type before which worked really nice.

its a TURBOXS boost controller, from SPEEDWORKS.....hey ZYMOTIC do you recon that boost controller is quality or dodgy???

Don't they have a little allen key in them to adjust spike?It may pay to have a look and if it does have a fiddle.

All styles of bleed valve are ugly. We are a turbosmart agent, there product is good but still suffers from boost spike. its just how bleed valves work. Im not sure what type of ecu you can buy for $1000, but if it controls engine management & boost, i suggest you buy it. ive been selling Haltech & Microtech for three years & they require stand alone boost controllers as an addition. Apexi ecu have boost control features , but by the time you pay for it, then upgrade air flow meter, you are spending good money. Trust me, E;Boost controllers are worth every dollar. Customers i have sod them too were the same as you until they drove the car after i fitted it, they were very impressed,

check out the article on autospeed.com.au and do a search on 'audi boost', i think it is a norgen setup boost controller.... i have one on my car and it NEVER spikes and has a wastegate creep.. costs $100ish and works perfectlly!

Sounds like the go. How controllable is the wastegate, do you controll it with Ecu?

there are basically 2 knobs... the first controlls boost and the second controls creep... mine is under the bonnet but you can mount them in cabin if you like..

It takes a while to tune but once it is it controls boost perfectly. i have never had boost spike since..

If it works its all good, but you have too compare apples with apples. Boost spike & creep are most evident when you revue a dyno run or drag run through a data logger. you would probably be suprised with the results.

i also have to knobs, but they say one is for coarse boost increase and the other one is for fine boost increase????

maybe the fine one is for creep?

I have one the same as yours maccaz I dont have problems with boost spikes had it tuned at Ice Performance boost holds pretty well I run 10.5 pounds drops off to 9.5 by redline but Ice Performace said this is pretty good and even the electronic boost conrollers do that to a degree and yes they did tune the boost while on the dyno. They said Unless you have something like that (while pointing to GTR with a huge turbo) an EBC is not really worth it.

This type of turbo xs vavle have a ball and spring design so that the wastegate does not open until the set boost level is seen (no wastegate creep) this results in faster spool up. I have the brass part of the controler open by half a turn and then fine tune the boost with the top blue part.

Its interesting that yours spikes and mine does not.

    • 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.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
