i just got the turbo xs sbc and its a bleeder type controller

is this a good controller?i dont mind poppin the hood to change boost

no biggie to me.

What else do you have done besides the boost controller. I hope that you have the basics down before you start to raise the BOOST. If you have a boost controller so you can raise the boost I hope that you already have a down pipe and intake, intercooler because the more boost you run the hotter the air is going to be coming out of the turbo, and what about fuel. the last thing you want to do is lean out the engine or to get detonation.

Maybe he just wants a boost controller to keep the boost DOWN. That's why I want a BC. Wanna keep it around 10 psi.

someone explain to me how you turn your boost DOWN with a boost controller? Since a boost controller bleeds off air to make the wastegate open up later, how does it make the wastegate open up EARLIER?

Not neccessarily turning it down, but to keep it at 10psi and not higher.

well a FD with no pills runs 7psi right ?

yup, and if you blocked off the watergate solenoid it would be even less

its been a while for me with stock turbo FD's.... LOL



that is probably the one thing i know the least about since they were only on my car for 3k miles and i never had a boost problem https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i never had a problem with mine either. i know people block off the solenoid on the fc's but ive never heard of anyone doing that on an fd, just an idea

my TII still has the solenoid.... i guess that's why its hitting 15-16psi in 4th and 5th gear.... need to port wastegate and put in a manual boost controller LOL
