DavidAshton Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That guide is a load of shit. Each car is different, start at low boost and gradually increase the boost pressure a few turn at a time on the actuator to get to the desired level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tez Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 im at 1.1 bar now in first gear, will it be the same throughout the gearsWill this be ok for my ct9?More worried about my engine, rather than the turbo lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That or fit a boost controller Johnbut still start low, as you cant go lower than the actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tez Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 i might buy a HDI or a GIZZMO?should i set my actuator lowerthen set my boost controller higher?or vice versa?or will a MBC be ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 if your hitting 1.5 in first gear good job you didnt take it any further, with the extra load in say 3rd gear you would be hitting 1.8+ I bet and you would be in a whole world of shit.You sure its all hooked up right never seen one push that amount of boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 dont buy a hdi bc dudecant rate the gizzmo enough! i would set the actuator to 0.7bar and tune with the boost controller from there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tez Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Ok will have a search for a ebc!regarding the actuatorwhat sort of boost should i be looking at in first gear?its hooked up correctly with vac hose from turbo to actuator!where the actuator hole is and it goes onto the wastegate connector, i had to use a bolt and 2 nuts to fix it. should be ok though!i had to pull out the actuator slighly to get it to mount onto the wastegate bolt though?

Driver Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I wouldnt worry about it, mine was 1.5 daily and spiked to 1.8 under load all time haIf its done it and survived just turn it down and should be fine (Y) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
