Manual Boost Cntrl + Standard Rb25det Turbo

[Stealthynsa]

hey guys im sending a turbo away for repairs so im putting the stock turbo on,

i have a turbosmart manual boost control and i wanted to know how much psi it runs when "Fully closed"

and how much u get for each click "roughly" as i dont have a boost gauge and cant get 1 untill next week

how much psi/clicks should i goto safely with a standard setup?

and should i put the PFC in "standard" and tweak the injectors or should i not do that.

this is a fail on so many levels

do you even know how a maunal boost controller works ? go and do some research

tell us what mods you have to your car

Agreed ^^ - massive backyard fail.

No boost gauge = DO NOT ADJUST.

Every car/setup is different. Play with fire, you will get burned.

Also do not go putting in injectors and hammering away thinking its going to go OK on the stock map.

Have the boost configured when you get the tune - not before. Simple as that.

No way around it, get a boost gauge. Cheap ones from autobarn/supercrap only run around $40-50 anyway, very easy to install yourself too. There's no excuse to not have one I think.

correct

sorry i didnt realise i said i was putting injectors in and then playing with the pfc.

all i said was should i tweak the injectors aka "standard injectors" if i run higher boost levels...

so the car doesnt run lean.

but neways ill wait and grab that boost gauge before i change anything.
