FOSTA Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 what do you need to know? i wired up the red to live. black to ground and tied the outher 2 wires up out of the way. there are 2 brown wires that go to the boost controller. and i put a vacume port at each side of the controller and the filter in the middle port. connect one vacume line to the side port of the controller and connect that to the side port of your external wastegate. then connect a vacume line to the top port of your wastegate and then to the outher side of your boost controller. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 It's that easy :-) The setting up looks like a nightmare, what's the supra spring rate, as it says set controller 3 psi less in the spring rate menu... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 if you have stock twins it will be the psi level that your wastegate starts to "crack ". so lets say at full throttle your boost goes up to 8psi and stays there. that would mean your wastgate pressure rating is set to 8psi so set your spring rating on your aem to 5psi. i have an external wastegate and i installed a 5psi spring so i set my aem spring rating to 2psi . i think you have to set it up like this to minimize boost spiking . ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pint in it for anyone who fancies giving me a hand... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
