Boost Controller

[Crazy.33]

Hi new to this site was wondering if any one knows how to use ARK advance boost controller can't set mine over 5psi would appreciate some help! If any one knows

[Hadouken]

I know stuff

[Crazy.33]

Please if you could help me would be great my mechanic installed it for me but I ask him to set up he has no idea too I tried it but no hope

Assuming it in a 33..

Your mechanic probably installed it wrong because he doesnt know what he's doing. why would you let him do it if he hasn't got a clue....

can't go past 5psi, probably just running stock actuator pressure.

get your money back and go somewhere else or read the manual, should be fairly straight forward

[Crazy.33]

Well he is a mechanic that's why I'm pretty sure he did install it right just needs to bet set up it does work! Only on 5psi I tried to set it on 10psi and it switches back to 5psi I did read the manual tried to get it going but failed might give a auto electrician a call!

[Sklyn]

did you check his installation of the solenoid with the manual? its easy to put something in backwards.

the stock actuator is 5psi, so its not working, if it was you'd be getting more.

if you can find someone local who knows anything about boost get them to have a look at it. any car meet or something should find you someone =)

[Crazy.33]

Ok sklyn thanks for that I have not checked that! I'm assuming mechanics know this shit just to install a boost controller I did ask him if he knows how to install he said yes! Most mechanics should know FML not rocket science but I'll check thanks for that!

You'll be surprised at some of the "mechanics" around.

Not going over 5psi = standard gate pressure = not installed properly.

Waiting for "my car runs rough after 10psi" thread.

Ok should I get auto electrician to check it or a turbo mechanic to check thanks for advice! Nizmo_Man

[Crazy.33]

Thanks for the help! I'll check all

Not necessarily. Many "professionals" hate to admit what they don't know. Post your location up with your name and see if a local SAU member can have a look at it or they may point you to an RB knowledgeable workshop.

Kiwi I'll get back to you with that one car at work shop once I get it back Ill post on here thanks mate!

[Sklyn]

could even post some pics of it and someone here might be able to point out whats wrong.

But check it out yourself first, its more fun that way =)

[Crazy.33]

Ok sklyn my car not with me at moment! Once I get it will post some photos did try oready.... Did not work for me but will give it anther go?

take a photo of how the hoses are hooked up..

Wouldn't surprise me at all if your "mechanic" has used the hose from the intake as a pressure source to the actuator.

[Crazy.33]

Yeah who knows maybe I will take photo once I get my car back johnnilicte thanks!
