Powerfc and powerfc boost controller, how low boost?

[Spook's_Skyline]

Im wondering how low a boost setting I can run with a power fc and its boost controller on a stock turbo series 1 R33 gts-t?

Basically i have my pod mounted where teh stock intercooler used to be behind the front bar and am hoping to be able to turn down the boost when theres a lot of water on the road to minimise sucking up water

any ideas how low a boost i could run on a stock turbo?

Dave you have identified a major drawback with relocating the air intake - especially if the stock under-guard shielding has been deleted. There is a lot of dust/dirt/mud/water going to be splashed around your intake, and winding back boost won't really reduce the type of catastrophic hydraulic engine failure that goes with poorly located/shielded intakes.

As a guide, check out some of the WRC cars and the off-road 4WD style snorkels they run in events like Rally Africa. Other rallies where they have only minor creek crossings, they seem to use well placed splash guards.

to answer your questrion thoguh, i'm pretty sure u can turn boost off (ie. no bleeding) this means u onl run the 7 psi or whatever the stock wastegate actuator runs. without modifying that i don't think u culd go any lower.

remember your right foot is always a good form of boost control as well, and is much easier to control.......

anyway i can adjust the stock wastegate to run lower boost?

my current setup is just using a bleed value and it never gets higher than 6psi

in the wet, i take it ez and use the right foot method anyhow, but was hoping i could use this as a back up method to shut down boost

my pod has a stone guard/shield between it and the wheel and since ive had the pod installed here, have jacked up the front end, so it doesnt ride so low, but it does have the inner guards removed

you wont be able to set boost lower the actuator spring level which is about 6psi on the r33 gtst. you could change the actuator rod spring so its less or you could adjust the length for a temporary work around
