Have tried to search mutliple sites for any answers on the following question, but all came up negative :)

Anyways, purchased a dual stage boost controller second hand, it just included the controller and no other wiring of T piece, but i have hooked it all up and included the rocket switch in my cabin and changed all the two dials (turned them up all the way) and i still cannot change my boost setting.

Will include some pics of my setup later tonite but just wondering if anyone has installed one of these and have had this successfully working as i cant seem to get it to work at all

Basically i have hooked up cut the vacuum hose between the nipple of the inlet pipe coming off the cooler and the hose connecting to the acutator. (this is the only hose i can find) and put a plastic T piece in there and run that to the boost controller.

The boost controller only has one nipple so that i can put a hose onto it, which seems strange.

I can only think of a couple of things that could be incorrect.

a) Hoses are incorrect somehow.

B) The plastic T piece is incorrect (The turbosmart one has a arrow on it and could have a restrictor inside maybe).

c) ......

The boost controller works fine cause when touching the wires together on the rocket switch it will click on and off so i know this works fine.

But can anyone help me with the setup on this.

dude! I dont know how much of a help ill be with this but I had a dual stage with a similar prob on my 34 - didnt seem to have any boost but occasionally if I flattened it the boost would kick in (wasnt stable though)

Turned out there was 3 hoses going to the stock one - the actuator part was ok but there was another hose (dont know which one sorry) that was connected that shouldnt have been, and it wasnt blocked off when it should have been.. a mate looked at it for 2 secs and connected the other one, blocked the unused one off and it was perfect after that??

dunno if its any help? sorry if it isnt!!!!

You need the T-peice.It has a small hole in it which you need so when you bleed off the air to raise boost.That T-peice is also gated for faster spool up.I had major spike probs with my single stage!!
