Anyone using a Boostvalve......

Just installed a pte54, Razor alky kit and Hughes 3000 stall tc.

I know I need a good boost controller, but until the funds are available, I am using a boost valve. My question for those of you using one is about the installation. My problem is that I am at 21 lbs of boost and the adjustment knob is almost all the way in.

I pulled out the instruction and saw that I have it installed the standard way, the inlet is on the turbo compressor, outlet on the wastegate actuator.

I saw there is an advanced installation, with the inlet located on the intake manifold, outlet on the wastegate actuator. I thought the fitting right on the bottom front of the manifold might work.

Would installing it the advanced way let me raise the boost to higher levels or give me any other benefit? Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated....

You need a stiffer spring. They used to sell them.

Re: Anyone using a Boostvalve......

I can follow someones budget being limited, but why try to push the limits with a $30 part and take the chance to blow up a motor.

Although boost valves can help with boost, and have been used with success. I just wonder how many motors have been blow up trying to use them.

Like Leroy mentioned, just put a large base spring in for now.
