boost tee turns

[SXCSKY]

hey guys

in the turbosmart manual for the manual boost tee it says (To increase boost turn the Boost Dial clockwise (maximum of 11 clicks or one turn at a time)) does anyone know wat each click means for eg 1 click is how many psi etc....mine was set by Advan in Silverwater and its over boosting ( today it stopped in the middle of the road so i have to restart the engine...) so i wanna lower it but not sure how low and i dont wanna drive it without knowing ...any help would b great.....

Thanx guys

mine was about 2 clicks per psi but it may vary for you

[neil_se]

The number of turns per psi is different for each bleed vavle and its not linear for any particular bleed valve (ie. it might take 10 complete turns to raise the boost 2psi, then only another 2 turns for another 1 psi). Get yourself a boost gauge to be sure.

My turbosmart boost tee is 1psi per turn.

thanx guys...i do have a boost gauge and it reads .6 bar and its still doesnt like it ...il take note how many clicks it takes me...y does it vary ?

wen i press the memory button (which i think is used for storing the highest boost level it reached) it shows the red line ....but wen i drive the needle reaches the green line .6 bar ...so wat does the memory button do?....so i dont understand y im having ova boost problems at .6 bar wen advan said it will b safe at .7 bar (stock intercooler)..so i might as well just stick with stock boost levels if i have to put it down to .5 bar ... Advan didnt use a dyno to set the boost level as it says in the instructions to do so...so mayb if i set it on a dyno may solve y its dieing out on me so low...im really confused :headspin:

cheers

I had a lot of trouble with a turbosmart bleed valve in my series 2 33 (spiking, overboosting etc), so I took it out and put in an ebc. definately worth the money.

would a turbosmart fuel cut defender help my cause.....just to get it up to .7bar without cutting out as advan said .7bar is the max it can go
