how to setit up once on the car...
Manual boost controller setup
Properly setting up is critical, it may take an hour of full road testing to get it set exactly as you want it.
1. screw the relief valve fully anti-clockwise so air can pass through with no restriction.
2. screw the pressure reg fully clockwise again so air can pass straight though.
3. road test the car, boost should be standard or below standard if the car used electronic boost control before – they have a weaker wastegate spring
4. unscrew the pressure reg step by step testing the car each time to see what peak boost holts at.
5. when the boost level rises to the desired level, push the knob down locking it in place,
if you cant adjust the boost make sure that:
- you have pulled the know upwards firstly
- you are turning the knob in the right direction, (anti clockwise for high boost)
- the pressure reg and relief valve are piped u the correct way
- all hoses are fitted correctly and are tight
- the pressure relief valve is fully open(fully anti clockwise
once you have set the pressure reg, to the right max boost level, you can set the wastegate creep control, that’s the pressure relief valve.
1. screw clockwise the pressure relief valve step by step with road tests in-between each adjustment
2. as you screw it down the initial boost will rise more and more quickly.
3. set it so that boost rises quickly as possible to the max level you want BUT does not overshoot the max level set in the points above.
4. when you are happy with this push the knob down to lock it.
5. you may need to make a minor adjustment to the pressure reg at the end to just to ensure that the boost is not going above the max desired pressure.
You can adjust the relief valve so that you get an initial over boost if set aggressively or you can make it very progressive and the onset of boost will be much smoother. You should keep the lengths of the hoses from the nipple through the controller and back to the wastegate as short as possible for the best throttle response to be obtained.
