Turbosmart Dual Stage Questions

[Samuel Leonard]

just bought one off of a friend for $100. just wondering, is each click + or - 1 psi?

also, how hard would it be to get the spring in the actuator adjusted so it runs minimum only a few psi? and then have the higher stage set at 10? be a bit better for fuel economy? thanks

No it's not 1psi - they "vary" at best. I believe its a full turn for a PSI if memory is correct.

But they are a shocking boost controller (a turbotech valve for $30 is better as an example).

Fuel economy is controlled by the right foot mate, not how much boost you are running.

I can get 550km/s to a tank with 270-280rwkw @ 17psi or so. RB25 and RB26, both returning about the same.

So clearly showing right foot and driving style play far more of a factor.

when you make it 5psi or whatever, you end up putting your foot to the floor to go anywhere meaning you end up sucking more juice or just leave it on "hi" all the time making this whole "dual stage" nonsense silly in your average street application.
