I found a good cheap boost controller for $22!!!

[Freddy Kruger]

i'd be looking at the new intake. more likely to be that rather than the boost controller, since the boost controller isnt doing anything when your off boost.

new intake as in what? new pod? new intake pipe? new plenum? has your afm been messed around with?

i tightened it up to 10psi and i havent had the stalling prob again yet... i dunno, just mustve been something weird...

[WogsRus]

I have had mine running without the restrictor and it sux, the screw is bearly in and the boost is very hard to controll. Myabe mine is dogey, i have had mine appart to chech everything and no good, going to test a mates one and see if it work ok.

having the restrictor in means that there is less pressure after it/before the controller. this means that the screw has to be looser to keep the boost pressure at the required level. having the restrictor out means that the controller is getting the full pressure, so the screw has to be further in to stop it being forced open.

[mad082]

or just cut a coil or 2 out of the spring. this will allow you to screw the bolt in a few mm more, without altering the tension of it very much.

[WogsRus]

well atthe moent i have everything plumbed back as stock, and it works very well. SO i might just leave it for now

[Fugi]

i don't have a restrictor in mine. i put a new bit of hose on there. didn't seem to affect it at all.

fugi- yes cubes instructions still apply. when he is talking about a bleed valve he is talking about a boost controller. doesn't matter what type.

Thanks man.

I will give it a try.

nah the ball isint getting stuck ive had it apart a few times the spring looks really dodgy in it . reckon someone has had a play with it for what ever reason and buggered it i reckon the spring is too heavy for it to work as it should

hey mad082, do you remember a while ago i did the 'high boost on stock solenoid' mod and my boost went infinite? couldnt work out what happened. well today i found a unichip piggybacked to my ecu that i didnt know was there. lol. now from what i understand, the unichip intercepts afr's, timing, and possibly boost, thru the ecu.

so i guess this may have been why it freaked out.

i might remove this BC when i find a tuner for the unichip, and set the boost thru the ecu, if it's possible. but it shouldnt hurt anything having it there for now, yeah?

[Fugi]

ok theres my actuator however there is no visable bleed valve on the pipe...

Dont i have to get rid of my bleed valve befor i put the BC on ??

[mad082]

there is no bleed valve on a 32. just take that hose off and get a longer piece and put it on with the controller in the middle of it.

munkyboy, is there any sort of solenoid being run off the piggyback? does it have a vacuum hose running to it?

[Munkyb0y]

no other solenoid besides the stock one.

there's no vacuum hose going to the unit.

yesterday the tuner that looked at it told me these are capable of controlling boost thru the ecu, if it's been wired up that way. so i dont actually know if it has been. there's an extra box connected to the unichip aswell, not sure what that ones for. he suggested possibly fuel cut defender type of thing. just guessing at this stage.

when i track down a reasonably priced tuner for unichip, all will be revealed.

edit: the turbotech seems to be doing its job, so i dont think there will be any issues with clashing interest between the ecu and the bc. whatcha think ?

[Fugi]

Ohh no bleed valve.. so how am i running 12psi ATM??

[mad082]

generally once you do exhaust you get a boost rise.

munkyboy- how do they figure that it can control the boost through the stock ecu? i wasn't aware that the stock ecu could control boost other than the 2psi jump.

[Fugi]

Ahh.. however when i brought the car my cuzin said that he too to the mechanics one day and the guy goes ohh i can put a bleed valve in for u. and he rcns he did.. is there certin places i can cheack just to make sure.. or is that the only place a bleed valve can go.

Edited October 13, 2006 by Fugi

[mad082]

the only real place it can go is there. but

[Fugi]

OK, i think i will just install it there. see what happens. i will get back to use.

thanks mad082.

dunno dude. that's what i was told. but i'm still not sure if it's the case with my unichip.

i'm guessing the stock solenoid gets the signal from the ecu to run a certain psi. i mean we know it can work for 5 and 7 psi. why not higher?

how long did u guys find him to take on sending the goods and replying back to emails....it has been 2 days since i payed and purchased the item, but he still hasnt even responded to the first email and payment confirmation.....

wats the deal ???

[SS8_Gohan]

don't worry, i paid, got no confirmation and it just turned up one day. Very normal, don't worry about it, you'll get it. It's just the way he works, you won't get ripped, you'll get your part. 2 days, dude, just be patient.

It'll come
