I was about to buy an in car boost thingy when a guy i know who used to have an rst says that using incar boost controlers blows your turbo as it needs to pump all the way into the car ?!

Is this ture ?

 

huh, pretty stupid design if it is true....
Never heard of that happening though?

 

in car bleed valve ?

i have one on an old RS of mine, and it was fine albeit a little shoddy and bodge job

 

if used correctly then no probs... people get abit carries away and just up the boost by a few psi, then a few more, then BANG

 

I think i need to turn mine down lol im running about 20psi

What psi is safe to run with the following spec:

chipped ecu
-31 actuator
hybrid turbo (not that old)
full mongoose stainless exhaust with 3.5 inch tailpipe
bleed valve
bailey dumpvalve

 

about 17-18 psi...

i reckon, might be wrong tho...

5th injector would be ideal if wanting to run higher

 

under 15 if standard intercooler

 

what cooler are you running...??

if your running a standard cooler or pace, you need the NMS one I have fo sale

 

if u have a pace interwarmer no more than 18psi, GRS frontmount etc, 20psi+ but i wouldnt on a standard compression bottom end and fueling needs to be right

 

Im only running a standard cooler

Westy pm me some info dude

 

20 psi on a standard cooler, surprized u didnt a hole through the intercooler, love to see the ACT's on it

 

Thats why i need to get one of those in car things so i can turn it down !

Fook it im gunna get one i really cant see how its gunna blow my turbo. Who else has got one of the in car adjusters ?

 

wots the point of getting one if you havnt got an uprated cooler max you can run is 14psi??? get a front mounted cooler then have sum fun!!

 

Mate read my last post, i need to turn the boost down !

 

whether turning upo or down it will need set up by a pro or it will do damage
these are not somethin you can set up yourself,prob wont need one just a good set up

 

So shall i leave it at 20 psi then ???

 

it prob has a under bonnet bleed valve, just turn that in and teh boost will set down, if it hasnt maybe the pipes come off the actuator or has split a little
i doubt teh actuator had been set up for 20 psi with you having a std cooler and all


putting a incar 1 on as you are will make no odds cos it will just give you a way of letting more air bleed out, it wont stop the air coming out that the under bonnet 1 (or a leak) is releasing

 

I had a 2 stage boost switch set up but was told it was no good as the fuelling has to be set up carefully on one boost pressure

 

leave it at 20 and uprate the cooler

Check the link mate.. Same as this, and never fitted. New freshly painted rocker cover and charge carrier.. fans and hoses, and the intercooler is like new

Retail at 500

yours for 350

 

oops, that link.. goto gallery and check out Car : Escort RS Turbo S2 the grey one a few down

 

sam mate...turn the boost down to a sensible level - i.e 14psi if that! the car will feel slowler but it will save your engine....oh and no more top speed runs until the car is properly setup...

to get the car setup either go to Grove garage in romford or somewhere like Karl at NMS in coventry and they will do a decent job regardless

What ever you do get the fueling checked or it could be game over before long

 

didnt realise it was that turbo, u brought it from a mate of mine in great yarmouth, just saw your pictures in the photo gallery.......

turn the boost down mate, 14 psi and get the fueling checked, its a nice turbo u have there, 20 psi at the current stage will kill it off.
