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]

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.

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.

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.

i set mine to 9.5 -10psi and when i come on boost hard the thing hits 11psi for a split second then sits on approx 9.5-10psi like i set it

[jeffworld2]

anyone got a pic of the thing pulled apart? just want to see the size of the ball compared to the spring. need this guys i miss my boost, running on wastegate.

[Munkyb0y]

why dont you email him. i'm sure he'll send you another ball, or tell you what size etc.

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

Buy an EBC.

thanks dude, your a legend.

raiding the wheels on a metal cabinet as we speak lol

[Munkyb0y]

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]

so what's this little extra mod floating around? cut the spring somewhere and this already good product, goes better?

[jeffworld2]

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
