AEM truboost electronic boost controller install
#31
Well you will have to adjust your A setting duty cycle a little at a time untill you hold your desired boost in 3rd or 4th gear. It took me a little while on the dyno to get mine dialed in, just take it slow and move the number upward and then do a pull and see what you are holding. Also after each run clear out the peak boost and do another pull. This will tell you what you are spiking.
I am at 23/24 and my settings are
A- Duty Cycle 64
B- Duty Cycle 62 (cold weather)
Spring crack pressure - 11psi
Alarm - 25psi

AND WHO IM GONA PUT THAT INFO IN PROGRAM MODE
HERE in Puerto Rico WE HAVE HOT WEATHER ALMOST ALL THE YEAR
WHEN YOU SAID A-64 , BUT THAT IS BOOST SETTING A ?
TRUST ME I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH BUT MY BUT MY WRITING IS BAD AS HELL
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Set SCR (spring crack pressure to about 11 or 12) and yes you set the 64 under boost setting A (also known as wastegate duty cycle). As said before, different boost settings for different cars. My car hits 23lbs at about 58 instead of 64. I would recommend setting it to the low 50s to begin with and slowly go up from there until you hit target boost.
Not to be a dick, but if you can't understand the directions, this might not be something you want to do yourself as you can easily destroy your engine.

I'm setting up my Tru Boost and have a couple questions and verifications so I can feel a little more confident about the install. On the directions from AEM, it says to route the scramble boost (orange) wire through a switch then to ground. Why would I want it switched? Shouldn't I just keep it constant?
The grey wire says to go through a warning light to 12V. Do I need a light or is there an indicator alarm in the controller already?
Where's the best place to tap into the vaccum hoses routing back to the gauge?

I would raise your spring pressure (spr) to at least 11-12, the highest I would set it at it 14 since the stock WG is really set to open at 14 anyway. For about 21.5 psi you're just going to have to play with it a little bit. I think you should set it to about 55% duty cycle. I was around 63% and I was hitting 23 psi no i'm at 71-72% hitting 25 psi.

some pics until it gets warm enough to do a proper How-to
Aem Tru Boost Installation
link for the manual as posted before
http://tunertools.com/prodimages/AEM...st_30-4350.pdf
Heres a pic of how the solenoid is wired. mine is temp tied to a bar off of my battery.
Vacuum hoses
#2 on the left goes to the waste gate
#3 goes to the turbo. #1 is capped
Brown wires from the solenoid run through the firewall.
Pressure Sensor Hose. T-d as shown above. ZIP TIE CONNECTIONS
Clear hose runs down the back through the firewall along with the wires.
Wires running through firewall. hole is on the passenger side. Red wire is for the stereo so ignore.
Installed
Clear tube goes to the back of the gauge.
Wiring is pretty straight forward but i'll add pics of that too later.
lemme know if this helps ya
