To finalize. I lost track of turns but thought I brought it up a lot....I went from 10ish to 12ish psi. I will have to do it all over again . Fuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!
That reassembly is so horrible. I would rather tell my wife she is fat to find out what happens.

(06-06-2013, 09:15 PM)MFSuper90 Hahaha. I just put in a manual boost controller. So much easier
Yarp. Except for my garret is now on the topside of a john deere so it's mad easy to adjust.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

06-06-2013, 10:50 PM #7I was thinking about a manual boost controller but I've read so many conflicting opinions on them. Plus I had never adjusted a wastegate so I feel good having gotten that out of my system. I think I'll adjust one more time to bring it up but try a manual boost thingy too just so I can see what happens. I'm sure it will go quicker a second time or at least I hope. I really wish that had been engineered differently.

I had no problem with my home-made boost controller. Cheap enough to try, and if it doesn't work out then just remove it

Close it ever so slight to raise boost, open it a little to lower. Kind of crude, but it works for now

I just used a valve laying around our shop. Like a little screw type shutoff valve. (Proper name slips my mind)

Oh and I didn't mention this before but my egt's are way down again now that I got the boost up. After my recent turbo swap and boost drop (with a functional wastegate) my egt's were too easily at 1200. Fixed.

06-07-2013, 11:07 PM #10I bought some parts for about 7$ today and made one. I've adjusted it 3 times and still boost over 20. Gonna have to cut the spring a little I think. I'm sold on it though.

I know if I limit mine to 10-14 it would get toasty real quick in there. I run about 16-18, which I know is hard on the charger, but that's why my hx30 is coming along
