guys just bought a turboX boost controller,hooked it up and have played with it for hours!!! and the loweset i can get it going it is 13 psi,with spikes up to a 15! car is a r32 gtst full 3 inch, high flow cat , pod,bov,why is it so high and is this safe?

cheers

have you got it setup right ?:S

cause we use turbosmart bleedvalve an we can run what ever boost we want ?

(r33 gtst)

spikes on a bleedvalves are common. their not to good for holding boost either.

have you got a pic of how its setup ?

Here is a pic (attached) of how it is setup. From the picture you can see that the bottom hose goes to the wastegate whilst the hose on the left goes down and to the turbo. It was setup as the instructions said and is set up the same as on my brother's 180. The instructions say to never let the fine adjusting screw more then 2 turns from fully closed otherwise lag will occur. If I set it to 2 or more turns then it spikes past 15psi. So it is now set at less then 2 turns. The coarse adjusting valve is also set as low as it can go. I'm not real sure what the problem is only thing I can think of is that the hoses have some kind of problem ?

u hook 1 to the wastegate line on the turbo and the other to a pressure line on the intake (cooler pipe is easiest), thats how it reads the 2 different pressures

Thats right :thumbsup:

it should look somthing like this. one goes to the actuator and the other hose coming off the bleedvalve should go to the intercooler pipe :(

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
