[r33_nikolas]

hi,

i recently purchased a boost controller off ebay.. attatched is a pic. does anyone know if they're any good? or have any installation instructions because it comes with a t piece with an arrow on it.. any help would be gratefull

[RCHOO]

I dont know much about this 1 but it looks like my turbosmart BC

They do the job..

When my car gets back (wife has it) i will run out and take a pic

So you can see what runs to what..

attatched is a picture... i understand where the bottom plug goes too.. but the one on the top... it has a description 'exhaust hose - engine bay' ??? anyone know what this means or where it is suppose to go?

[inark]

From my understanding that goes to nothing... ie. run it to the bottom of the engine bay somewhere.

[r33_nikolas]

so can i just leave the top one unplugged?

Probably best not to until someone who knows what theyre doing says something lol

But i wouldnt leave it without a hose connected to it... run the hose through a hole in the engine bay somewhere or down out of the way.

And make sure you have the T peice the right way... ie. arrow towards the actuator... not towards the Turbo and the bottom part (red part of the T) runs to the controller (which until you get it turned on a dyno should really be completely closed)

it works as in in-out type device

be careful when messing around with boost control, if you do it wrong your car will run unlimited boost. that is, if you load the car up and its setup wrong boost wont stop rising so youll just do damage or fry something

intercooler pipework -> hose -> stock valve IN -> stock valve -> stock valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

on the black intercooler pipes there is a nipple already. it has a tube on it that runs to where the turbocharger is.

its about the same size if not a bit thinner then the red tubing in the photo. you basically interject your unit in replace of the stock boost solenoid

intercooler pipework -> hose -> turbosmart boost valve IN -> turbosmart boost valve -> turbosmart valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

so basically find the stock boost solenoid and replace it for your turbocsmart device then away you go.

the device is next to the right suspension tower, its attached almost next to it. with two tubes that run to it and some wires.

undo the tubes from this and run them to your turbosmart device. drive around and experient.

as you load the engine up watch the stock boost guage and make sure it doesnt hit +7 if it does, youve done it wrong and are running unlimited boost (this is bad)

all you do is replace the standard boost controller in the r33 with the one you bought. it acts in the same manner that the standard1 works. bottom hose on standard, to bottom port on new, and same for the top.

providing your standard boost solenoid is set up correctly, you should be fine.

ill get a pick later tonight of my set up of the standard solenoid and point out on the pic where the pipes go.

I wouldn't waste my time with that controller. I bought one and it boost spikes hardcore. I hit 17psi at around 2800rpm and it dropped off to 9psi through until red line. Not cool.

[r33_nikolas]

well.. i'll try n install it.. n see how it goes..
