Ep'd Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Here (I've seen these in no ends of turbo cars and thought shall I get one too):http://bit.ly/19kaHSCMy Glanza is running 0.6 bar on high boost and I want it to run around 0.8 to 0.9. All I have I an uprated manifold stainless steel and it's running a ct9.If I buy one of these will I be able to up the boost under the bonnet and leave it like that on one setting of 0.9 boost? It should not fuel cut at 0.9 boost should it? Also for my standard setup what's the safest and highest boost setting I can run at without damaging my engine?Cheers guys...

daniel_g Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You'll hit fuel cut at 0.9FTEs have went pop at standard boost.MBCs and bleed valves are quite pish.Get an EBC or a HKS adjustable actuator and set it to just below fuel cut to allow for boost creep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 As said, your best bet is an Electronic Boost controller, it will allow you to raise the boost to 0.8bar, and should keep it from creeping too high and hitting fuel cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep'd Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Could I run 0.8 without fuel cut?Setting a manual boost controller and leaving it alone to 0.8 boost under the bonnet. Will that not be the same thing as getting an actuator and setting it to 0.8 bar?Excuse my ignorance Edited July 18, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Manual Boost Controllers have the same effect as an adjustable actuator... Its just another way of doing... As long as you stay under fuel cut, you wont have a problem... However, an electronic boost controller would be a MUCH better investment!They will allow you to get much more stable boost all the way to the redline and much faster response and spool in most cases!

What is the most I can run under fuel cut on a standard setup is it 0.8 or 0.9?This one is on my door step it has a ceramic ball bearing rather than metal ball bearing, any difference?Might get him to fit it too http://bit.ly/12XhHzc^^^ Is that an ok one? Should i Run 0.8 or 0.9 without suffering fuel cut? Edited July 18, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) fuel cut is at around 0.85 so you should run 0.8 to be safebut a manual boost controller wont be able to control boost creep so you might have to set it lower Edited July 18, 2013 by Weyro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weyro Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 its the actuator that is prone to boost creep as it cant react quickly enough, and a MBC is just a static adjustment, but because an EBC actively monitors the boost and makes adjustments in milliseconds its able to overcome this problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Also i believe if you set it to 0.8bar now, come the winter with the cold denser air you will have slightly more boost so quite likely to hit fuel cut when it cools down more. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 MBC's are shit, and pretty dangerous. Wouldn't recommend at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep'd Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 MBC's are shit, and pretty dangerous. Wouldn't recommend at all.Why are they dangerous? I was thinking of just setting it to 0.8 bar boost and leaving it under the bonnet and not touching it again. It does the same thing as an adjustable actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 They don't hold boost stable at all.Just use an adjustable actuator to set the boost then, get an EBC when you can as they are far superior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I run and have always run manuals.there just ok tbh. As said above ebc are superior and work a heck of alot better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
