Quick Question

[Cef31]

hey guys i got a turbosmart manual boost controller off a mates s14 but my ceffy doesnt have one of those standard boost controllers, the line goes straight from the wastegate to the turbo, doesnt bypass anything.

connected it to this line but severe overboost when it was supposed to be fully closed.

mate said he might have put it on my car backwards but doesnt know, so if u guys could tell me where its supposed to go it would be a great help.

Thats the correct line. You have done it wrong.

[Cef31]

i just put it back on with the arrow pointing towards the wastegate and it boosted up to around 13 and is insane then with throttle still fully open droped to about 10 and stayed there.

should i turn it around or what?

[huddy]

how longs it spiking for? should be ok like that i'd just get a power run to be safe

[Cef31]

it spikes instantly when i put my foot down for a second then comes down, whats a power run?

[huddy]

take it to a dyno - get them to do a 'power run' just to check that all you air fuel ratio's are all ok and the boost is actually what the gauge is reading. should cost about $50

also see what power its making now

[toffy]

auto?

[Cef31]

affirmative.

[toffy]

does it slam into gear as it hits 13psi? , a guess would be that your actuator possibly is a little weak too

nah it doesnt slam into gear,

i take off and it spools up and when it hits 3500 revs it boosts right up for a few seconds then comes back down as i keep accelerating.

i might take it to my nearest import garage and see what they think, if iv done it wrong or something.

Cheers for your replies.
