Socks Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ok! Actuator is easy to setup. You want to set it so its not so loose it vibrates and doesn't close the wastegate port. But not so much tension it'll overboost. Generally. It was to be just enough tension to hold the port shut... Then the boost controller increases from there.. Increase the Duty Cycle 5% at a time, doing 3rd or 4th gear pulls. Until you hit your desired boost level (or fuel cut, then back it down until it doesn't hit fuel cut at all) Once that's done. Increase the GAIN. 5% at a time, until the boost doesn't spool any faster... The Gain should never be higher % then the duty... Simple Really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I haven't got a clue about the actuator I'm not going to lie,I can't even find the bloody thing,it's nowhere near the turbo! And I have an external waste gate on the screamer pipe,for the boost controller it's more what goes where,I know how to set it up once it's all wired in but I have no idea how to wire it in 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You won't have a actuator with a external wastegate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I would have done a formal introduction however my head is pickled with this bloody car!😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 So how the hell do I get the thing to spool up quicker?apart from boost controller? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 A good map, heat wrap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Both already been done,it's not hitting full boost untill 5k it's driving me crazy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Check for boost leaks, make sure the turbo is healthy. Weak wastegate spring. Boost controller should help, instead of an actuator it controls the external wastegate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 are you sure u have no boost leak ??? if not then that sounds like tdo5 20g to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 No boost leaks atall and just changed the waste gate springs!guess I will have to try the boost controller,any guides to that?lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Defo no leaks Colin,any where on these cars prone to leak if so I will double check,it's defo a tongs ct9 hybrid aswel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Boost still shouldnt come in that late. Boost controller wont drop the spool by 2k revs to around where it should be. Got an issue somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Starts spooling about 3k and is about 16-18 psi by 4.8 - 5k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 holy crap a tiny ct9 it should be on full boost at 3k !!!! maybie the rubber membrane/flap in the external waistgate is cracked/leaking thats what i think now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M7WSY Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Already checked Colin,I just changed the springs on the waste gate and the diaphragm was fine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
