The Raven Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My bro in law has just phoned me and said hes looking at a scooby.......I told him its crap and buy a GT4 but he would not listen. Anyway. It has a decat on it but no boost controller. Would this not make the turbo spin faster? Dont know alot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 after a bit of reading it seems not but i would get a boost controller for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 after a bit of reading it seems not but i would get a boost controller for peace of mind. Or a boost gauge to keep an eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 So it shouldnt have over boosted? Which is what i was worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Over boosting would only occur with an incorrectly sized wastegate like a JSpec MKIV FYI a boost controller can only raise boost, it cannot lower it below the physical limits.

Righty, Like i said i dont know alot about turbos and workings. Seems its ok to buy then. My reasoning was that a deact would make it overboost, and that a Controller would stop this. I learn something new every day. Still trying to get him to look at GT4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 A boost controller cant lower boost below the baseline pressure, for example if the boost pre decat was .8 and then after its 1bar, the lowest boost possible will be 1bar. Hope its got a stupidly loud exhaust on it, all the ones I ever see have lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
