Who's running a turboXS boost controller?

[Jiggalude]

This came with the car when I bought it. It is the bleeder type, no spring/ball setup. I can easily blow through when the top is tightened all the way down. I'm unable to change my boost settings with the boost controller. I don't understand how it can change the boost if I can blow through it easily. Does this sound right, or possibly something wrong with the boost controller?

I say toss it and get a MBC from welcome to NXS Motorsports | NXS Motorsports


My buddy has run this one and even though its cheap it works good. Holds boost rock solid.

With what you said about the turbo XS I wouldn't trust it personally. There may be something wrong with it, who knows.

Yea I don't know much, but I don't see how if I can blow through it, it's going to up the boost at all.

I ran the turbo xs one on my Ford probe for awhile. It never worked correctly. The thing would spike not hold boost yada yada yada. I built myself one for about 15 bux. It's a ball and spring type and works flawlessly. Just another option for you to keep in mind. Very easy and affordable to make

Ball and Spring works great. The guy on the NXS website that I gave you, gives a 10 dollar discount to all DSM Owners also, so basically your paying 10 bucks for a proven MBC.

Its also free first class shipping, you get it in like 3 days. What a deal right?

IMO get rid of the Turbo XS. Not worth it.

Yea it's gone, and I have a ball/spring on the way. It seems that all TurboXS are like this.

I have a TurboXS and it works fine....

 

[Jiggalude]

Well I can easily blow through mine with it all the way shut, so I'm assuming it's not working correctly.

Back from the dead.
I have one. You turn them counter clockwise to add boost. But, the top is coming off mine. Not sure if I can go up anymore. It's holding well at 13 psi. I'm upgrading because it's not enough boost for my mods. I heard Halman's are the way to go!

Turbo xs boost controllers are great for the top port of an external wastegate. I run one on the top port and an ebc on the bottom. Increased base spring pressure from 15 to 27 without a different spring. Then you can fine tune with the ebc.

Still running mine probably 15 years later.
