I bought one of the Turbotech manual boost controllers off EBay after reading the great reviews on it on the SAU boards. I installed it today and it seems regardless of how far out I wind the controll (wound out = less boost, wound in = more boost).

I keeps on hitting around 1.2 bar boost (I've taken my foot off when it gets around here. Can anyone see what I've done wrong in the pic?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I just want it sitting around 0.8 bar for the moment.

I'll be out tonight at the museum so if anyone sees this and feel like heading out if they know a solution it would be greatly appreciated. :rofl:

Whats will all the other hosing that T's off here and there?

Run a simple hose from the compressor housing or plenum straight to the bleeder then straight to the wastegate actuator.

Pull it apart and check the spring isn't caught on the bleeders relief hole burr.

The instructions show to plumb the wastegate actuator to the t section just below the controller screw, and the bottom section runs to a T section which goes to engine and blow off valve. As far as I can see I have done this with the remaining hoses that run to the bov, engine and one of them also plumbs to the induction pipe that the air box connects too.

Does anyone have a basic bleed valve that I could borrow to test out if I've got all the hoses correctly set up? Any help would be much appreciated,

It would probably only take 5 minutes to hook up and I'd take the car for a spin and see what happens. If it works properly I know the controller I have is faulty.

Maybe just do this at the museum on Friday night when everyone meets up or something.

Thanks guys!

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
