dave_bristol Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 how are all of you turbo owners controlling your boost ? bleed valve, manual/electronic boost controllers, also what is the most cost effective way ?Cheers Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAN_GTT Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 bleed valve will be the cheapest and easiest way, get one that you can lock it in place once adjusted so nobody can fiddle with it whilst your not looking lol :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I adjust mine using an electronic boost controller that is built into my aftermarket computer.I am using an Autronic - www.autronic.comIvan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trip Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Most cost effective way and reliable would be a Manual boost controller. if you have the cash bundle an Electronic boost controller along with a strong actuator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTarw Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Most cost effective way and reliable would be a Manual boost controller. if you have the cash bundle an Electronic boost controller along with a strong actuator.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I thought when boost is electronically controlled it would be more reliable as you don't get spikes in boost?

trip Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 One would imagine so but being that's also electronically control you can have spikes, and there is a slight delay cause it's all electronic if you get what I am saying.Nothing beats, a good strong actuator.

turbo_time Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 i have a boost gauge wich i hope to fit today and was also thinkin about getting a controller my gauge measures in psi could anybody tell what i could wind it up to and not over do it cheers peeps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trip Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 You can turn up boost effectivly to these figures:12 PSI with Top Mountered Intercooler, why I say this is because when you turn up boost you make the turbo work harder, and thus the engine also so your generating alot more heat, so the factory intercooler is not suited well for high boost volumes by it' slocation and size. so it's recomended if your flowing more then 12 psi to upgrade to a larger intercooler either TMIC (RX7, ARC) or best to go with FMIC.14PSi is the factory fuel cut, and the safe limit (well 14psi on my car), so anything undeer there really, as the ECU will accoedimate for fueling, igntion timing and everything.Other items may have to come into play when turning up boost, bigger fuel pump, may need to get a stronger actuator, as the stk actuator canot regulate boost good after 10PSi.

Robbo Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I just use my right foot.but also a HKS actuator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
