Cubes Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 2 days is nothing to worry about. Chances are he will simply send it out. --------- Also with regards to the boost controller.. I found the adjustment to be a little bodgy as the top of the spring would often jam in to thread; I bent the top of the spring in slightly and now its extremely smooth and so much easier to adjust.

Munkyb0y Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) yeah i pulled mine apart and had a good look before using it. the cut end of the spring was ok in my case, but i can see how it might be a bit dodgy. i have adjusted it once and left it like that (fluked the correct setting first go). here's a tip. if you want to install it at the least(stock) boost, tighten the nut just enough so when you blow thru the bottom nipple with your mouth, you can just get the air to come out the side nipple with quite a bit of blowing effort.

leech_ Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Anyone have any ideas on what i can do to make it hold boost a little better ??? Hey all as per my post i think like 20 pages ago i managed to get mine working and it has been going strong alot better than my previous turbosmart pos. Anyways i have upped the boost to around what i thought was 11psi. After doing some high load runs i found that it was getting up to a max of 11.6psi at 4500rpm and then worked its way down gradually till 6800rpm when it was down to about 9.8psi. I have checked the lines and they are as straight and short as i can make them. Other than maybe trying to shield the BC from the engine bay heat do people have any other ideas on what i can do.Summary is below 4500rpm - 11.6psi 5100rpm - 11.1psi 5700rpm - 10.7psi 6300rpm - 10.0psi 6900rpm - 9.8psi PS i know it's a cheap boost controller and can't expect the world but 1.8psi is a fair drop.

RBwhatever Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Anyone have any ideas on what i can do to make it hold boost a little better ??? maybe its got something to do with your acuator. Mine seems to hold boost fine. Unless the spring loses it's tension over time....?? Thats just my uneducated guess.

Providing you are running a decent exhaust thats not restrictive there's nothing you can do. Buy an EBC.

Munkyb0y Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i'm pretty sure that spring is facing the wrong way. should have the cut bit against the bolt, the flat bit against the ball. that's how it is on mine anyway.

SS8_Gohan Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 so what's this little extra mod floating around? cut the spring somewhere and this already good product, goes better?

jeffworld2 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 if you cut the spring, you just have to screw it in further, best mod for this controller is to remove all restrictors in the lines if there are any and have more pressure acting on it which makes it a bit more accurate. i put the flat end of the spring to the ball, as it seemed like something you didnt want to foul the movement of, as opposed to the bolt that stays still anyway. bearing i found worked by the way, and i have 12 more here lol. as long as it fits in it will block the end Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/62/#findComment-2619664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
