I know the video is old, but just in case anyone comes across it: he's explaining it backwards: OPENING the boost controller (i.e. reducing the pressure of the controller spring), is going to allow MORE air to reach the TOP of the wastegate. This air will fight to keep the wastegate closed and thus RAISE boost. At 1:43, he "increases resistance" by twisting the boost controller "down" in order to "raise the boost." He's actually lowering the boost (by reducing the air inside the TOP of the wastegate). This is even reflected when looking at the gauge between the two tests. This could be important for some people on a new build, trying to run off wastegate for testing. Especially since the adjustment decal some controllers align with this video because they were designed for an internal wastegate setup.

What if i just use the lower tip of the wastegate and connect with 2 port of the manual boost controller.( From turbo prrssure source goes to 1 tip of the boost controller and other one goes to the lower tip of the external wastegate and the top of the wastegate vent it to air..can it actually increase the boost pressure?

hi dude !!! I have a question, I have understood your videos perfectly, you have explained everything perfect and you have cleared me many doubts, however, my situation is that I have a project but it will be supercharger, not turbocharged, something simple between 5-7 psi, but I will not have wastgate and I have been asking some questions, if the same procedure can be done but instead of being the wastgate it could be with the BOV? maybe a T between the intake manifold line and BOV? I know that there is a vacuum that is generated within the intake manifold after the butterfly of the throttle body closes when it stops accelerating to be able to deflect by means of the BOV the pressure that remains before the throttle body. However, I would like to know if the engine is accelerating and the supercharger generating boost, while the throttle body butterfly is open and there is pressure in the intake manifold; can the boost controller be located between the line that goes from the intake manifold to the BOV? I appreciate your answer very much.

Hello Julio, Thank you for the question and kind comments. Will do my best to answer as truthfully i'm not real knowledgeable on supercharger systems. But I have seen AMG Benz with superchargers that have some form of boost control as an option, exactly how it's done I am not certain. But I due know from experience roots "style" blowers are strange to have boost control options as they mainly use the pulley size (under or oversized) to control the rate blower rotation. As for blow off valve, think from memory they may have to be vented back into the system (recirculated) but not certain about that one.....If i were to recommend a supercharger system it would be a rotrex unit. (jacksonracing.com/product/rotrex-c38-supercharger-units/) Not only are they more efficient than a standard blower. But i think they could be the answer to all your questions......Hope this was helpful, as im not a supercharger guy. But much respect to you and good luck on your project...feel free to drop us some images of the build. :) Happy Holidays

Hi I got a 14psi spring in my external wastegate I have hooked the compressor line to the boost controller then from there to the bottom port of wastegate then teed it off for boost gauge and I’m only getting 10psi in whatever I do
@HighPerformanceNetwork2 жыл бұрын
Hmm. That’s an interesting one. And your certain it’s a 14psi spring and not 7psi.!? Hmmm. Next step would be to verify if you have a boost leak somewhere in the system. If no leak. Then I would proceed to remove the boost control line on the waste gate (so it’s running on spring pressure) but leave the boost gauge hooked up direct to manifold pressure. If it goes to 14 then could be a faulty boost controller. That would be how I would do it. Let me know if that helps.

Oscar Henriquez Yup. once the source is from an intake source, most people use the line connecting the turbo compressor to actuator for the bov as in some cases its easy to get to. but either line is ok to use.

Does this setup raise or lower boost from spring psi?
@HighPerformanceNetwork6 жыл бұрын
Q Man this setup can be used to increase boost pressure as it would hold the spring under tension for a longer period. However if you wanted to lower boost pressure that can be a bit tricky as each spring have a minimum boost pressure (8psi) to go below that pressure I've seen people make calculated holes somewhere in the system to bleed that pressure off. Lol but no one ever wants lower boost :)

Rene Reyes if it's a stock turbo you may have to install a "T" fitting to share the pressure source. If it's an aftermarket turbo. Then you can drill and tap barb in the inlet/compressor side of the turbo piping. Once the pressure source is before the throttle body. That's the important thing. But mainly the closer you can get to the turbo the better. Hope this helps :)
