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 :rofl:

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.

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.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
