Factory Boost Control VS upgraded boost assembly (pill)

Nothing to see here. This forum is trash now.

I know first hand the factory boost control can do better than 21.5 psi...

Great results Blade! If everyone that provides detailed results like this on EVO M we would all be better informed! Not only is the boost higher up top but down below as well. What does this "mod" involve, dropping a restriction in WGA for tightening the WG does not achieve the results you got? I have no idea. Please, some details.

Later, Ken

Wastegate actuator tension is left as it came from the factory.

The boost assembly replaces the OEM factory boost assembly. It still looks 100% OEM from the outside, because it is.

We upgrade the pill on the pressure side, just like we did with the Evo 8 and 9's running ECU-controlled boost. This has to be tuned for, if you just install it without a tune the car will overboost.

I haven't tuned a Evo X with a MBC yet so no data.

One advantage I know right off the bat is that the ECU-controlled boost with upgraded boost assembly looks 100% OEM stock. The dealer wouldn't even have an idea it's been changed visually.

Another advantage is full boost control over 18 RPM points and a 3D TPS/Load table, full error correction via 3D TPS/Load table and some other cool little things.

Basically a very full featured Electronic RPM based boost controller, free with your Evo 10.

RazorLab: Will you sell the pill upgrade for those interested or give us the pill #/orfice size? Thanks for including the info about WGDC tuning; I can give this to my tuner to help him save time in tuning the boost. Just out of curiosity, why not run the secondary solenoid at 100% at 7400 rpm? It looks like on the dyno plot that power stops climbing and flattens out right about at that same spot in the RPM range. Just curious...

It got a bit grumpy with more boost. It does only have a Drop-in filter after all.

It needs to breath more, which will come soon.

We will have pill and boost assembly on the site very soon.

Do I dig out the original pill or replace the entire hose?
