Um....
Most boost controllers work by bleeding air off the actuator, thereby preventing the wastegate from opening. This in effect allows the turbo to create more boost!
Without proper control, the boost would simply continue to rise until the engine or turbo or both went bang.

Indeed, but if you have enough pre-load on the actuator on a t34 then it cant make any more boost as its just not capable. Do you think by fitting a blitz boost controller i will make any more boost then using actuator pre-load and a jet in the amal valve. Please tell me how you can pshyiscally overcome the limit of a turbo.
No arguments that if you are achieving the maximum boost that the turbo can make, then the Boost controller wont help you!
But to be fair, I find that my turbo creates quite different levels of boost in different air temps. As such, I find that I can accommodate these in the boost controller much more accurately.
I use mine with a T34 with a 0.63 zorst housing.
I have to say, if you are running 2.4 bar from a T34, then you are running more boost thatn I have with one - at 2.4bar, the controller would be maxing out anyway! At this point I would put my head in the sand and hide!

yes it spikes 2.4 bar. how much more do you guys think i am going to ahieve with an aftermarket controller exactly?
