Default Boost control on escos (p8 ecu)

Hi guys, on my escos, i have no boost control......

In saying this what i mean is its just running direct, with a forge actuator,

Its a group N engine but surly this isnt how they ran in rallies?? And somone in the past has either removed the air injectors or amal valve???!?!?

It runs safe... No det, fueling a bit rich but nothing major,

But i would prefer propper control on there.... Whos best to speak to regarding it?
And also my car makes 2bar of boost by 2500rpm, then tails off till 4k rpm i have just less than 1 bar, then keeps tailing off more,
Now this is how a rally engine should be, so not worried about that...
But when i use the anti-lag the boost doesnt quite reach 2bar....
Altho the car is quicker cause of less lag and instant boost i just thought it should still hit 2bar especially if there is no boost control....
Does that make sense??

Any help apreciated guys :tops:

Get it to a tuner to have a boost control solenoid fitted back on it! You'll find it's a better car after

Default Boost control on escos (p8 ecu)

A boost controller is a device to control the boost level produced in the intake manifold of a turbocharged or supercharged engine by affecting the air pressure delivered to the pneumatic and mechanical wastegate actuator. A boost controller can be a simple manual control which can be easily fabricated, or it may be included as part of the engine management computer in a factory turbocharged car, or an aftermarket electronic boost controller such as those made by GReddy.
