Going to start on my stage 2 next week was wondering what is the easiest way to adjust the boost. I've read mixed opinions on both options and I know either way is an arse of a job, just wanted other peoples opinions.
Personally I would fit manual boost controller leave actuator in standard position and not mess with the preload. And yes not the most enjoyable job I've ever done on a car lol.
Fitted an MBC is pretty easy tbh
And once its done, you can adjust it as many times as you want with ease
All go well I will be going this way soon, can someone drop me a link to a suitable mbc please. Thankyou
I've got a few lad grab one when you pop up
Thanks people going to order an mbc then.
Why spring/ball over bleed?
They all bleed a little....not sure on the one JP put up though.
Bleed valves cause an artificial delay on the actuator, so you end up with a slightly less responsive arrangement and boost spikes.
Yeah, they are naff tbh... A turbosmart one with a ball and spring (or even tbh some of the cheaper ball and spring ones) actually tend to speed up boost response by avoiding wastegate creep.
When I ran the electronic controller on my XUD you should have felt the difference in how it spooled up with it turned on and turned off. Much much harder and about 500rpm earlier!!
