yep..I have seen it, never used it though

 

Ian, gimmie a call when you're ready. I can get it at a GOOD price. And the more who buy the better it gets. Contact MRBonus when you guys are ready to go.

 

Just sucks that it's in KPA's... If it came in PSI, I would already have one!!

 

Well,
First off, the product is great, but the kit is garbage. Must remove top intercooler hoses and pipe sections, the bov and the rest of the intake. Sort of a pain, but worth it. Lot easier putting it all back together.

The hoses from the solenoid do not fit the nipples on the turbo or intercooler piping, using the actuator as the main route. You will need a handfull of 3/16" to 1/4" reducers for the vacuum hoses. If you have aftermarket intercooler lines, the nipple will be gone of course, and will have to hook to surgetank.
Mounted in front of Bushur Air filter, capped off the old solenoid, but kept it plugged in. No check engine light.

Tapping the fuse box is the fun part. Ran the line through the firewall, 2" above the two air conditioning lines, ground anywhere sufficient. The easiest thing I found was to go to Pep Boys, or some automotive shop, and buy "Add a circuit." There are two accessory fuses, one next to the cigarette lighter, one is switched, yellow and orange together for the lighting, and constant power supply is in the row below.
Run wires up to steering column. Boost is easily set, even while driving you can adjust boost level, after calibrated of course.

 

Oh man I just bought one of these things used from a member I hope my mechanic (fellow member superz) doesn't have too much of a hard time getting this thing put in my car.. He's a master mechanic so he's got a solution to almost any problem. Contact him if you need anything installed. Highly recommend dealing with him. Really bright guy..

 

I have this boost controller and i love it. Really acurate boost levels also.. Its one of the only boost controllers that i have seen that lets u get 1.3 bar of boost in first gear.. woohoo!!!

 

I have a power enterprises boost controller. I think my setup may be a little goofed. I installed the new controller as if I was just replacing the stock one. I did not cap off the nipple on the intake pipe.
Is it better to go from the actuator and from the bottom of the turbo straight to the solenoid using seperate lines and removing the stock tee? Also then capping the nipple on the intake pipe? I originally had this connection, but the car was spiking badly at the set max boost, even at low settings? Any suggestions?

 

I've seen a few cars with these. IMO, Turbosmart products are all aweful including this boost controller. It did not work well and is a mess to try to operate. Do yourself a favor and stay away from anything that says Turbosmart on it. I've already replaced two wastegates of theirs due to the fact that they break and stay shut when they do. Very dangerous. Very cheap product.

 

You have to remove the t and do NOT use the stock compressor line as it has a restrictor in it. This will solve your spiking issue.

 

Anyone have pictures and or better instructions for the installation of this product?

Thanks!

 

Is it really that difficult and unclean an install as everyone is making it out to seem?

 

Actually, the installation is not too bad. I had a former mechanic from ams motorsports out of arlington heights, il give me a hand.
You must get to the turbo and remove the stock lines going to the wastegate/actuator and the compressor bypass valve. Cap off the campressor nipple and run your output from the solenoid straight to the turbo, and get your input from any vacuum line coming off the intake, just follow the bov line back and tap in anywhere you please.
As far as tapping for the boost gauge, I found a more stable tap and is not where the the fpr is located, neither the 3-4" line next to it, before the solenoid, but on any section of vacuum line coming of the manifold.
I will take some pictures.
This product was a little tricky to tweak as far the gain adjustment on the back of the gauge, as overshooting was a major problem. Boost is stable now, 1.3-1.5 bars, holds to the very last second you let off.
For anyone else with this install, do you find the solenoid to be a little bit loud, when letting off. Is a stock bov replacemnt a good idea?

 

Well like i said before i love this boost controller. It is the only one that have seen that u can get full boost in first gear on. A friend of mine with the blitz boost controller on his evo only get about 8 psi in first gear. Another with the greddy e-01 only get about 6 on his wrx. So im happy with it.. The install is just like any other boost controler this one is no different i know the response on the guage it so fast that its kinda funny. Also the solenoid is no where near as loud as the guys with the greddy boost controller. It is very loud this one is quite compared to that.

 

Thanks I need as much input as possible I'm getting this bad boy installed today by fellow member (superz) he's a fantastic mechanic and I recommend everyone to contact him if you need an install done on your Evo.

 

Tigh you will be very pleased with this boost controler. I can go ahead and tell u now to turn the knob on the back to the left a little bit to start with. Deffinetly if u have an exhaust and stuff.
