Problems with Turbotech boost controller

I bought one of the Turbotech manual boost controllers off EBay after reading the great reviews on it on the SAU boards. I installed it today and it seems regardless of how far out I wind the controll (wound out = less boost, wound in = more boost).

I keeps on hitting around 1.2 bar boost (I've taken my foot off when it gets around here. Can anyone see what I've done wrong in the pic?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I just want it sitting around 0.8 bar for the moment.

I'll be out tonight at the museum so if anyone sees this and feel like heading out if they know a solution it would be greatly appreciated. :rofl:

Whats will all the other hosing that T's off here and there?

Run a simple hose from the compressor housing or plenum straight to the bleeder then straight to the wastegate actuator.

Pull it apart and check the spring isn't caught on the bleeders relief hole burr.

The instructions show to plumb the wastegate actuator to the t section just below the controller screw, and the bottom section runs to a T section which goes to engine and blow off valve. As far as I can see I have done this with the remaining hoses that run to the bov, engine and one of them also plumbs to the induction pipe that the air box connects too.

Does anyone have a basic bleed valve that I could borrow to test out if I've got all the hoses correctly set up? Any help would be much appreciated,

It would probably only take 5 minutes to hook up and I'd take the car for a spin and see what happens. If it works properly I know the controller I have is faulty.

Maybe just do this at the museum on Friday night when everyone meets up or something.

Thanks guys!

      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 )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
