could any of u help me on how to install this boost controller and the arrows say "arrow points to wastegate"

In your picture I don't think you need the piece above. The boost controller should be all you need.

Just run a line from your compressor housing or boost source to the nipple on the right (in your picture) and then from the nipple on the left just run a line to your waste gate. And then put a vaccume cap the nipple on your air intake.

Turning the knob to the right should increase boost so you might want to back it out as much as you can to start.

thats a ebay boost controller its no good . . . go with a turbo xs , hallman, dejon tool, or sbr manual boost controller that thing wont hold boost

Agreed, the only ebay boost controller that I've herd to be pretty good is the NXS, which is what I'm running.

 

[blessed1gst]

yea i had the nxs on a gst i had before and it worked great

 

[gofer]

You spent money on it and its in your possession so who's to say whether it works or not?! Try running the damn thing and if it controls your boost then it worked...

To hook that bad boy up read through this installation article, it seems like the arrows are wrong so you'll have to READ CLOSELY to get it hooked up correctly.

I'm running the same one only mine is pink. So far it is working great and worked great for the PO too. So far only up too like 17ish and holds. Only complaint is that on click (atleast on mine) isn't 1psi, it is more like 2-3 psi. It is workin so far and for now, till I can get a better on really, only reason I want a new one is due to the adjustment not being too precise. Also, mine is hooked up with the check valve. Not sure what it is for but it is installed and it works fine. Maybe if it is out it would be more precise? Idk just a thought.

im running the NXS aswell was only like 20 bucks shipped or something havent had a issue.

On the adjuster take the actual boost in arrow and them route the other nipple to the waste gate. Not sure you need the other 3 nipple adapter.

yeah but taking that peice out maybe why people cant get it to work right because you can blow through it one way but not the other.

I used one like this with no problems what so ever. I have to agree that it's not maybe the very best out there, but it's CHEAP and works once you have it set up properly. Here's a pic of the proper hook up.

The top nipple on the controller is just a vent. The "Tee" is needed to add a restriction in the source supply, I guess to help prevent spiking or what, I can't say for sure. I do know that when I ran it without it being inline the boost wasn't as controllable.

The arrow on the "Tee", points to the waste gate actuator. So the hose should be as follows. From the J-pipe to the wastegate actuator the "tee" in the middle of that with the arrow pointing away from the J-pipe. The controller is attached to the "tee", obviously off the side and the hose from the "tee" to the BOTTOM nipple on the controller and as I said the TOP nipple just vents off to atmosphere.

I have to add that I am going to run a Hallman or something better once I get my engine rebuild finished. Buts that just because I'm going to be adding a new one in the budget.

Has anybody used the hallman evolution rx boost controllers? Wanted to get one but nervous about havingnproblems with it running into the cabin.

Lol I wouldn't mind that but if there's an in cabin option why not haha. I'm just worried if it would cause lag of any kind or something

I dont see how in anyway it could cause lag.

The best place to put a boost controller is as close to the turbo as possible. If you mount it far away and run lineage to it, it won't be as accurate. I heard it also takes some driving to adjust to set pressure.

Just my .02 but don't mount it I'm the cabin unless its an electronic boost controller

Hallman has the in cabin add on, the boost controller stays under the hood but the knob for control gets routed into the cabin. They give you I think 72 inches to route it into the cabin and secure the adjustment knob where you like. I'm just worried about accuracy problems with that adjustment knob setup and or lag. But I think there's a slim to no chance of either.

Shouldnt be any lag if just the knob is in the cabin. Only lag would come from miles of vacuum line due to having to pressurize howerve much you have till the action is initiated. SO the shorter the lines the better, but if hte know only is in there there shouldnt be any problem, except the convenience of not having to pop your hood to adjust boost levels!

well try it out and let us know!. Bust that myth for us. Personally I would love a knob inside to adjust on the fly but with all the stories I've heard about inaccurate boost with the canon mount kits, I've been hesitant to buy one.

Remember not to tap the BOV line for your MBC. Also, that "vent" line should ideally be run back into the intake, pre-turbo and post-MAF/MAS. The air that vents out of that is metered air, so in essence, it's a boost leak. On the stock intake hose, there is a nipple for just such a purpose that uses the stock BCS hoses.

I agree, the one I had, the knob came out completely, I was wondering why I could not boost past 9 lbs and then I tried to turn it up and the knob came right out, Just my experience.

Counterfeit garbage is just that.

Caveat Emptor

 

[sexystover]

its threaded backwards and junk in my opinion. it was labeled backwards and caused me to spike 30 psi because i turned it all the way to "less boost" but it was max boost, and even after i figured it out the boost controller fell apart while i was driving on the highway
