It is, lol, but i couldn't tell those were feet until i just looked closely. I thought it was you hugging a tub of protien (badger milk) lol.

I thought i remembered you posting in the other threads, but i was too lazy to go back and verify my instinct.

 

Well you have quite a few more mods than me, but at least we can use it as somewhat of a comparison...

 

It might be ATP kit lag?

Ooo, you would!

 

haha do they look like hands??? my gf's feet. i ahve a foot fetish and im a bodybuilder, so feet and protein. haha

as for more mods, we will get a good idea. who is tuning u?

 

lol, yeah my roommates drink badger milk 6-7 times a day (i think). I'm scrawny at 6' 150lbs, but i like it that way; makes my car go faster.

Jestr remote tuning. I have a wideband and EcuFlash + EvoScan... I already have the first base map, and it actually looks very good so far. Maybe alittle rich, but he hit the spool-up spot in the RPM range, almost perfect. Which is amazing for this being a not-so-popular turbo combo....

 

i have a peak boost 3076 kit and it did the same thing when i put the kit on with a ball and spring (hallman) type controller. so i called tim and PB and he told me that this controller wont work. it will NOT control the boost from a big turbo.
i used this controller on my stock turbo and it worked great! in my case i have an aem ems so i hook up a GM boost sol. and run it with the ems. NO more problems!
if you dont have an electronic controller then you can use a bleed style controller like turbonetics. i dont like them but they work. BUT, it needs to be hooked up differently than your hallman. do the following....

1- run a boost line straight from the lower ic pipe to the bottom on the wastegate.
2- put a tee fitting somewhere in that line.
3- run the line off of the tee fitting to the inlet side of your bleed style controller.
4- then run a line from the outlet side of the controller to the top of the wastegate.

now, turn the contoller knob all the way out till you cant blow through it.
note: you will always be able to blow through the outlet side of the controller. this is normal. but you should not be able to blow through the inlet side!
then all you got to do is turn the knob in and it will add boost.
only turn it a little bit at a time to keep from having and accident!!

this setup works on a different principal than the way you have yours hooked up.
your way, the spring holds pressure till it overcomes the spring.
this way it is like putting a stiffer spring in the WG as this way the boost bleeds onto the top of the WG and holds the valve down. and you can vary this amount by bleeding more pressure to the top of the WG.

hope this helps.... i have already been there scratching my head too !!

Oh yeah bud, thanks a lot. That really helps!

I will be going down the EBC path then... You think that will get the job done?

 

yep, that will do it. electronic controllers are the chit. like i said, i dont like that turbonetics one. the adjustment sucks. but when you get a new controller i think you should hook it up this way. unless the one you buy tells you not to. in my aem ems instructions it show this setup as the way you are suppesed to hook up an external wastegate. it shows your setup hooked to an internal gate.
also, as a tip to save you some trouble.... just in case!

with the setup i got you can only use a 3way boost solonoid like the GM one...
if you use a 2way like the stock one then you WILL have problems. i asume that most aftermarket controllers use a 3way. the way you can tell is, if you can blow through one side of the solinoid with it closed the its a 3way. if you cant like the stock solinoid then its a 2way. hope this helps...

I had to port my 37R also because of massavie boost creep then i need to change the wastegate to a 44MM.

 

Your MBC seems to be acting funny.

With my GT-35 R I get up to wastegate spring pressure, and then have slight boost creep as RPM's rise. this is because I have a small external WG (38mm).

If I have my Halman RX MBC set to 24 psi or above then my boost pressure rises to the set point and stay steady as a rock up to redline. No reaching WG spring pressure and then jumping up to MBC set pressure like you are talking about.

PS: Yes, a MBC works great on a big turbo... anyone telling you different is trying to sell you a EBC for the $$$

 

can you take the mbc and clean it? I had to do this once. becarefull when though cause the spring can shoot out.

 

i agree with this statement 100%. i have seen so many use the Hallman or even the Turbo XS with 35R's its not even funny.

 

Hm, so you essentially ran into the same problem then... Correct?

I'll have to try the higher psi thing when i get some race gas in it, and see what happens.

 

Might be a next step for me as well... I would rather do this than buy an EBC.
