piehound Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 well its done i fitted my shiny new de ct pipe to replace both cats on my uk spec, the turbos spool faster but no increase in boost really. anyone got apic of a manual boost controller fitted in situ so i can raise the boost up , i have a bleed valve here but it isnt the 1 with ball and spring in its just a pin that tightens and seals the valve,i dont think its will do the job although someone may no diffrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hey I'm glad you're keeping the car piehound. I bought my ball-and-spring MBC from eBay for ~£20. Now boosts happily up to nearly 18psi I'll photo it now, but there was a straight forward writeup, or it came with instructions, I can't remember.

piehound Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 cheers carlos but it dont really help, i dont know why i cant get my head around this ive never had any probs before with anything mechanical, i just cant see how the damn thing plumbs in and more to the point how it works lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehound Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 where does pipe 1 go and where does pipe 2 go and more to the point when the valve is blocked you get more boost? when its open you get normal boost? and which way does the air travel down 1 or 2 so i get the direction right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 IIRC I basically intercepted the feed to the wastegate actuator or something. With the valve closed, it doesn't let the actuator open the wastegate. JohnA has some stuff relating to it on his site http://www.moreboost.org - I'm not sure where though.

carl0s Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 pipe 1 and 2 were the same pipe before I cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 You didnt hang about fitting it mate whats the difference in noise with your standard exhaust on? you'll notice a big difference when you put a cat back system on, the standard one is very restricive, plus the noise will put a big smile on your boatrace everytime you put your foot down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehound Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 martin it sounds exactly the same lmao, the only diff is i can hear turbo 1 coming on line . i just went to local exhaust place and they charged me a tenner to swap it, so it wasnt worth getting my paws dirty i would have had to buy the exhaust paste if i did it myself lol, now i have reset the ecu it does make a big diffrence just going to up the boost today if i get amin in work, cheers for the pipe and cya soon at mascrat i hope, and my car got dirty on the nasty m53 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
