Boost Drops About 2psi Nearby Redline

[R33Turbo]

LOL i am hardly an expert!

Ive only had it on there for bout 2 or 3 weeks and been playing with it tryin to get it somewhere right.

just went and had a look at my settings and atm they are-

set: 40%

gain:27

set gain:6psi

its holding boost pretty well but needs more fine tuning. also been hard cause ive been trying to do it on my own...

My cars mods are just 3" turbo back and a K&N panel so pretty stock...

hope that was of some help to ya!

oh also just adding the peak boost with those settings was 10.3psi....not sure of the rpm(bit hard to drive and look at it lol)

Cuz ive got it installed and set by UAS, i didn't really wanna touch it so before i do this how do i check wat the original settings are currently? what do i turn or press on the EBC? thanks alot by the way

[jase-r34]

to check the set just turn the nob but dont press it in...it will display the current setting and go away on its own.

for the gain just press the mode button once, press it twice for set gain, and all the other settings are the warning and limiter and peak boost etc...

let me know what they are set to atm and what kinda boost ur getting...

[R33Turbo]

Set: 45%

Gain: 20%

Set Gain: 8.7psi

Those are the high boost settings which makes around 11 psi boost like 10minutecar and also drops as much as he does (to about 9 psi)...

Do the other settings affect the boost or performance wise at all or are they just extra features such as warning alarm and etc?

Also does the setting you have spike boost at all? And if it does spike the warning alarm will go off right?

[jase-r34]

mine hasnt spiked at all with those settings. the warning can be set to whatever you want so if u want it to alert u at say 12psi then just set it to that.

[R33Turbo]

So what i was saying is, the warning alarm or light will come up if it spikes past the desired warning psi right?

Did u try my setting by any chance ?

[jase-r34]

I havent even been in my car since yesterday so nah havent tried em out yet. It sucks in the rain i get to much wheelspin in second gear...

With the warning, i have never hit it as ive been conservative with my settings as not to overboost.

But yeah according to the manual the warning light comes on and the unit will lower boost by whatever you set the limiter to.

[R33Turbo]

so at this setting u gave me it reaches 10.3 psi max?

If i wanted to reach about 11 psi with the boost not dropping below 10psi..how would i set the settings? im not too sure how to do this percentage setting thing

[jase-r34]

what i would do is just turn the knob up a couple of % at a time. dont forget u gotta press the knob in to actually set it.

just dont go upping the gain or set gain too much. It should only be adjusted up like 1 increment at a time....at least once its close to being right anyway

Have you gone for a run with those settings tho??

[R33Turbo]

yep well it seems like it held boost atleast 9.6psi but still dropped below 10 psi...did it do that to yours as well?

and for some reason my original settings feels faster?

[jase-r34]

It probly is.... like i said im still playin around with it and have only had it for a couple of weeks... ill give ur settings a go tomorrow and see what happens.

It was hard for me to tell if it was dropping off much as i couldnt look at the guage as i was driving and was only relying on the peak boost and last boost features on the EBC.

If the boost is dropping off try increasing the gain setting by 1 or 2 increments at a time. just keep an eye on the peak boost. its a good idea to clear it before trying out new settings.

Where abouts are you from?

[R33Turbo]

im in Sydney....mate the "last boost" option gives u the highest boost b4 u let go off accelerator right? not the last boost as in the dropped boost for example 9psi (for me as it drops off at redline).

[jase-r34]

Yeah the last boost tells ya what it was as u let off the accelerator, not a drop in boost. I really just need to get a mate to come for a drive with me so i can see whats happenin. Like I said before ill try out the settings u mentioned and see what i get with them...
