I just got a Turbo XS Dual Stage Boost controller and Im trying to figure out how to wire it. There is a black and a green wire comming out of it. I guess my question is do I put the toggle switch in the power wire or do I put the toggle switch in the ground wire. Also which wire is the ground and wich is the power.

Now thats done. Which hoses go to the bottom nipple on the boost controller and which goes to the nipple on the side. Would it be --------Hose goes from Compressor Housing(T25) to the side nipple, then a hose from the bottom nipple to the wastegate actuator.


P.S. - I have already looked at turboxs.com but it didnt help very much

Thanks For any help,
-Kevin-
 
To be honest with you, no it doesnt help because I cant read the wiring part because of the pictures.

I have the hoses hooked and the BC mounted, I just have to wire it now. Any Help:confused:
 
I put the switch on the power wire, on my controller the wires are violet and green. I grounded the green wire and put the switch on the violet power wire. Wastegate actuator to bottom nipple also. On my old AUTO FWD I wired the switch to an old school bright/dim button, mounted the switch to the dead pedal and just stepped on it when i wanted dual boost Hope this helps.
 
1/ Locate the waste gate actuator. Note, it is usually mounted on the turbo.

2/ Identify the flexible pressure hose running from the positive pressure side of the turbo to the waste gate actuator.

3/ Mount the D ual Stage Boost Controller to the vehicle chassis in a location such that it can be reached by the flexible pressure hose running from the positive side of the turbo when disconnected from the waste gate actuator.

Note : When mounting, ensure these is enough room for connection of the hoses and the electrical plug.

4/ Remove the pressure hose fitted to the waste gate actuator and insert it over the silver colored nipple of the boost controller. Note the inlet direction arrow on the boost controller. Use the pre-existing hose clamp to secure the hose onto the boost controller.

5/ Take the extension hose and fit it onto the blue colored nipple. Fit the other end to the waste gate actuator. Use the supplied hose clamp to secure the hose onto the nipples.

Note : Installing the TurboXS D ual Stage Boost Controller backwards will prevent the valve from performing properly. Ensure the arrow stamped on the boost controller is in the same direction as the inlet supply pressure from the turbo.

Connect the Electrical Plug to the D ual Stage Boost Controller. Ensure the rubber gasket is located between the Plug and the Boost Controller and secure with the screw.

7/ The Green Earth wire needs to be connected to an earthed part of the vehicle chassis. Unwrap the Green Earth wire and route it to the Vehicle Earth location. Cut the wire to length leaving some excess. Save the remaining wire. Remove 5mm of insulation from the wire and crimp one of the Crimp Eyelet Connector to it. Screw the Eyelet Connector to the Vehicle Earth location.

8/ The Control Switch is to be installed inside the vehicle cabin. Identify a suitable mounting location and drill a ½" (12.7mm) hole. Ensure there is enough space behind the hole to fit the body of the switch and the wiring connections. Fit the switch.


9/ Unwrap the violet wire bundle from the Electrical Plug and route the wire to the switch. Cut the wire to length leaving some excess. Save the remaining wire. Remove 5mm of insulation from the wire and crimp one of the Crimp Receptacle Connectors to it. Connect this Receptacle Connector to the central spade terminal of the Control Switch, labeled "ON A CC."

10/ Take the excess violet wire, strip 5mm of insulation from one end and crimp another Crimp Receptacle Connector to it. Connect the receptor to the spade terminal on the Control Switch labeled "SUPPLY VOLTS". Route and connect this wire to a suitable +12 volt fused voltage source. Ensure this source is connected through the vehicle's ignition system. Note the maximum current drawn by the system is 0.5 amps.

11/ Take the remaining length of Green Earth wire and strip 5mm of insulation and crimp the Crimp Receptor Connector onto it. Connect this Receptacle to the spade terminal labeled "EARTH GROUND ". Route the other end to a suitable Vehicle Earth location, cut to length, strip 5mm of insulation and crimp the remaining Crimp Eyelet Connector. Screw this Eyelet Connector to the Vehicle Earth location.

12/ Review and ensure wiring is as per Assembly Diagram, secure all wires and check connections.

Note : When wiring is complete and correct, the Control Switch will illuminate when the toggle is in the Stage Two (2) Boost Control position. When the Control Switch toggle is in the Stage One (1) Boost Control position it will not illuminate.

Try to open the link in Explorer since I can't read it either in firefox.

That helps a lot, firefox was messing up for me.

One last question. I have grounded the green wire, and ran the violet wire to a switch but what do you suggest I use as a power soure for the switch

Note: I am not using a lighted switch, i am using a regular two pronged switch. Can i run the power wire to the switch in the car, then run the wire back out to the battery. If i do this do I have to install a fuse . If so what amp fuse.

Thank You

Anybody have any suggestions, Everything is done except were to get the power source from, I need help quickly.
 
It would be easy for you to run it from the ACC cable wich can be located behind the radio. Since it Is 12V wire you should not have trouble. also you will notice it run at 0.5 amp and that is not much draw...

Read this and find the ACC
(Ignition 12 Volts) wire behind your stereo wires and tap a wire from there to the switch. if you conected directly to the batery. the sistem will stay on. 24/7 = dead batery after few days...
