Have turned down the gain and boost on the ebc for daily as it's mapped so is a animal when it's off and running 240

What do I do to turn Down the boost or what is safe please help new to this

[Callumcat]

Anyone awake

[Glanza Mac]

you cant turn it down, you need to get a 0.6 or a 0.8 bar spring for your wastegate and also an electronic boost controller to be able to turn the boost back up again to 1.0 bar when you need it

Rob.

As above, you can only run the spring pressure or higher not below.

1 bar spring = 1-1.4bar

0.7bar spring = 0.7-1.1

And so on all ran through the ebc

[Callumcat]

So when my ebc is off that's why it's always 1 bar because of the spring I have In my waste gate??

Or can I just turn it down with the ebc I have

Sorry for being a pain

And is 1 bar safe daily or will it cause problems

[Callumcat]

I get it lads sorry it's late and not thinking correctly I see the fact that I have the ebc makes no difference because of the spring I have in my waste gate, got the gain on 15 and boost at 10 using the ebc and is a lot less crazy is this safe or should I go and get a smaller spring

Just want it reliable sorry for all the questions I'm new as you can tell

[TrisK]

You shouldn't have a gain higher than the duty cycle. But apart from that sounds fine

[Callumcat]

What the gain should be less than boost?

And is it worth getting a smaller spring to be a safe bet? just got it and want to make sure tbh

The gain/settings are totally different for every car..

1bar td04 is fine, but if your feeling worried, yea buy a .8 bar spring.

[mindless]

1 bar everyday should be fine. You won't be reaching 1 bar 100% of the time unless you drive like a madman every single time you go out with the car. You should be able to keep it off max boost with a little discipline.

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

Get a decent ecu in there and have it mappwd and it should be fine

[Callumcat]

Yea it's mapped useing jam racing ecu so should be fine?? have sorted it out for daily use using the ebc much more useable now

Thinking about getting a turbo timer anybody recommend any??

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

Well if its a plug and play im not 100% mate but on emanage setup on a dyno should defo be safe, get a hold of a few guages and keep an eye on afr's etc

[Callumcat]

Brought it off here so hopefully should be setup correctly

Was dynoed at Colchester power station so may of been mapped there
