Boost Dilemma.. Controllers Won't Work

[high-boost-r32]

I am using them $22 boost controllers and they seem to be fine

[GTAAAH]

I plumbed the new controller straight in today and it still won't work.. had inlet as intercooler pipe and outlet to wastegate (should that be other way round?) gona try the $22 one again

OK put the old one back on (plumbed as previously and as on previous page) it's shot, no matter how far in or out i crank it it always reads .5 bar boost.. this is not cool.. going to take it to some one tomorrow..

you need to wind it all the way out til the screw comes off then wind it back in half - a full turn then mlock it down. The $22 controller is not broken.

The hose from your intercooler/turbo pressure side goes into the connection in line with the adjusting bolt. The connection out the side goes to the actuator. Exactly how the diagram displays it above.

Most people plug it in and never adjust it from the way it comes in the mail to get 12-14psi....and that's usually only 1 thread in on standard turbo etc..

Yeh, thats how i had it wired. I remember when i first bought it 14 psi was wound full out then half a crank in.. now i can crank it all the way in and it still runs 5 psi so i was assuming its screwed

Is the ballbearing and spring still in there?

haha yeh i checked that when i noticed it wasn't working, it goes valve at top (adjustable one) then spring then ball bearing.. mine rattles around when its cranked out which i''ve never noticed b4 tho

Took it to some VicDrift mechanic dude and he had a look at the $22 boost controller and said it is shot.. The one from autobarn is just retarded.. The + is - and the - is + so on minimum setting it's actually max... i.e. 22 psi. whereas on max it runs only about 7 psi.. anyone else who gets this piece of ass cotroller be careful
