Boost controller installation
Can someone with boost controller install experience confirm my understanding.
The twin-seq turbo system really is more like a single turbo system, and the boost cut being controlled by a single wastegate actuator is it not? (instead of 2 of everything for a twin setup) Here is the important one, the boost controller simply takes over the wastegate control (replaces the stock pills, if you will), is this correct? I will be installing a FMIC, efini Y-pipe, SBC-ID and Power-ID and cross drilled/slotted brake rotors next week, so any help by this weekend is greatly appreciated. Thanks |
Dude, let me know what you think of your Blitz SBC-ID and Power Meter.:)

Yes the boost controller replaces the primary restictor pill. It's not so much a boost cut as much as it is a boost limiter. Boost will maintain it's limit, but not fall off.

GD! Will it ever end??????
Just when I thought the PFC wld be the only thing I need I keep finding these topics. BOV's.........Boost Controllers.......etc..... When will it stooooooooop??? Seriously tho, I put in a dp, catback, pfc and an intake soon. Do I need any of this other stuff? I wanna make the car as reliable as possible so just give it to me straight! :( |
3rdgenluvr, here is my take on your question, if what you want to do is to make your car more reliable, here is the list of do and don'ts
Do: 1. Replace stock radiator 2. Install DP 3. Replace all vacuum hoses 4. Change fluids often 5. Change spark plugs every 4500 mi 6. Install boost and A/F gauge 7. Install turbo timer Don't: Install aftermarket intake Install MP and catback Change your boost Replace or upgrade intercooler Aftermarket fuel computer (and anything that would change your A/F mixture tempers with the balance of combustion physics) Any time you start modifying the car in an attempt to increase power output you are risking a reduction in the reliability of the car (unless you are mechanically versed and know the proper way to fine tune the engine management system). |
