mwilkinson Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Do you have a restrictor ring in the exhaust too? If so what is it set for? 1 bar, 1.2 bar etc.. Whats the setup of the car, what is it spiking to etc.. Again a few more details might assist people in offering some advise. I have one of these and found setting it up to be quite difficult. I just had to play for quite a while. The settings vary wildly from car to car and therefore it is unlikely you can just use somebody else's.

dcarrter21 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 the restrictor ring is 1bar. it spikes to 1/1.2 bar then drops back down to .8/.9bar. i think my SET is too high. its running a front mount, apexi cone filter, uprated pump(walbro), 3" straight through, double decat. greddy bcc. think thats everything... hopefully going for a drive in the dry later to reset it again. anyideas then people? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If the Gain is set too high it'll cause the boost to spike. Instruction HERE if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Does it work ok when turned off? If you haven't tried it, turn the boost controller off and see if you get normal boost levels. Just to rule out the boost controller being the fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 So it spikes to 1.2bar with the boost controller turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 cheers, im going to go back through the instructions tonight. ill try turning it off, do you hold the bottom left button to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 before i brought this boost controller i ran a manual one. it didnt spike with that. my new electronic one was working fine on a bpu supra before i put it on mine aswell. i think its just the settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 took the car out. put the SET down to its lowest (this was 5)and the setgain to 14 then started to raise the one where you turn the righthand knob. it now holds boost and there is no spike. i can hear a ticking though, is this the solenoid working? how much is it meant to tick? also do i have to turn the SET back up or should i leave it?
