Hi

i'll trying to install just a underbonnet boost controller single stage (see pic).....but its not working...........

i have disconnected the factory solenoid from the computer and used the two pipes from it to plug in the smartsmart controller (see pic)......is this correct?

so far i have turned the dial up to eleven clicks(not all at once) and so far nothing. My pillar mount boost gauge still says that i'll only running 7-8psi.....which of course is standard

what am i doing wrong..........have i pulgged it in right.

Please Help! ! !

done..........

do i just keep clicking up the dial until it starts to read above 8psi...

and how far should i go up to with 3 turbo back exhaust, stock cooler and turbo

i've done what u guys said and i've clicked it up to about 15clicks and still no boost increase(my aftermarket boost gauge is still reading 7-8.5psi).......that am i doing wrong? ? ? ? ?

do just keep on clicking up the dial or what????

stupid question but are you turning the knob the right way?

most bleed valves need to be turned ANTI clockwise to OPEN them to BLEED more air out which lets less air to the wastegate, which makes it open later, which means more boostage for you.

if you have done all that was said and turned the knob the right way, then I will guess that the valve is broken.

i am turning the knob the right way(i checked that too as not to make a fool out of myself). i can still keep turn it up but i was wondering whether i had plugged it in wrong........

should i have diconnected the factory boost soleniod? cause i have

should i just be plugging in the turbosmart controller into the two pipes that are attacted to the factory solenoid? cause i have

and should i just check turn it up until i can't anymore or it starts to work? which i havent done (yet)?

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
