Boost Problem

[Shaynesspk26]

I got given a turbo for my r33 thought it couldnt hurt to try is but anyway having trouble getting boost controller working on the turbo there was a vac line from the actuator and turbo so put a T peice for 1 end and other end is on the manifold I can only get 10 psi no matter what I do I've tried fiddling with the hoses and the boost either keeps climbing or it gose to what I set it at then it drops as fast as it climbed how can I fix this

could you explain the hoses setup better, are you using a turbosmart bleed valve or similar?

Ok it's a turbosmart duel stage and 1 end I put a t peice between the vac line on the acuator and turbo the other end is connected to the manifold

I'm fairly sure the boost tee goes between turbo and acralator on a direct line you dont need a t piece make sure you got the flow direction the right way that's how I hooked up mine and works great

It worked fine on my old turbo I Hooked it up the same but it don't work properly

You obviously have no idea how it works. The boost control goes between the turbo outlet fitting and the wastegate actuator. It's that simple, I don't know why the f**k you would hook it to the manifold.

That's how I had it but the boost just kept rising and another sau member sugested the manifold and thought it was safer hitting 10 psi than rising

[lilcrash]

If it keeps rising you have it set too high or your wastegate isnt opening.

If thats the problem,try and check your turbo actuator.Probably something wrong there.

I fiddled around a bit more the duel stage works but low hits 12 and high hits 16 then it drops down to 10psi and stays there
