hi, 

I have purchased a greddy boost controller and have a hard time adjusting it.

I understand gain is in percentage on how much boost you want . I started with 5% and now on 30% which gives me 11psi.I don't know what the percent really means. . 30% of base boost or ... they could have just made it easy by sticking to psi.

 

then gain is set to 15% as I understand gain is used if boost drops at the top rpm, gain will maintain the boost . 

 

start, is what you want the greddy to kick in from. I am not really sure what that means but reading from what people have said, it should be your desired boost -4 psi. so it is set to 7psi.

warning , it is what you want the boost controller to be the limit . i set it to 11 psi

limiter, is again in bloody percentage on how much boost it should release when you  hit 11 psi. i set it to 5% .

 

 

now what I see is , on first gear 7 psi as max but it is usually on 5- 6 psi. 

second gear it hits the 11 psi and stops at 12psi at max ! but again runnig around 8psi range

third , same as second.

 

4th same as 1 st gear.

 

I am really confused and fed up with driving up and down to bloody adjust it .

 

should your boost decrease / increase depending on gear or is it more rev dependent ?

It's not a closed loop boost controller, therefore you CANNOT make the setpoint a psi target.  The main setting is basically the duty cycle of the solenoid.  The bigger the number, the more it is bleeding off and the higher the boost will go.  When you get to 100, it cannot bleed any more and whatever boost you have achieved is all you will get.  Of course,the boost may stop rising or the turbo may overspeed and die before you get to 100 anyway.

The gain (set gain) is for trimming the main control result to eliminate droops or spikes.

Thanks for clarification.

 

i started with set of 0 and gain of 0.

 

now at set of 30ish , I achieved around 12psi and have set the gain to 15%.

 

from reading manual I understood the gain to be used to keep the boost if it drops . So for instance if it boosts to 9psi at 4k rpm and back down to 5psi at 5k rpm, you use the gain and keep raising until it consitantly stays on 9psi from 4k onward.

 

am i reading/ understanding it wrong?

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
