hia fellas,

 

i got these fitted to the zed and when i bought them they were fitted with adjustable acctuators now im not sure if it was 13.5 psi :o

 

looking on my digital boost gauge it looks although im only boosting 10 psi max what is the setting straight from turbo technics,??

 

do u think i have a leak somwhere will it be on the high pressure side of the turbo or am i looking for something else

 

or do i need a boost controller ??

 

cheers

You need to use a boost controller in order to get accurate boost usability, do not use bleed valves !!!, you could use something like 1mm boost jets but I would go for a controller.

Tattooman,

 

Fastredz is talking about the actuators on the actual turbos that open the wastegate, not bleed valves. Remember also, that bleed valves are providing the same control over the boost as a mig tip. Kind of like having a mig tip with an adjustable aperture hole.

 

Fastredz, if they're adjustable, TT might have only set them to 10psi to begin with, its up to you to wind-in the actuator arm to raise the opening pressure.

If in any doubt, give Giles a call @ TT and he'll be more than helpful.

good idea i will give giles a bell, he is the fella i spoke to when i bought the turbos a really helpfull guy,

 

will have to be caerfull when winding them in the actuators i mean,

they have to be balanced dont they !! i think they do it with a vacum gauge or do i have to pressureise them ??

 

cheers

If you have a compressor with an adjustable regulator and a boost gauge, you can set them accurately yourself.

Set the regulator to about 1 bar, and using an air blower into the end of short piece of rubber tube with a T-piece into the boost gauge. Slowly apply air pressure and feel the actuator push-rod and keep a note of what pressure is required to move the rod.
