Re: boost controller

What would be the best electronic controller for a stock setup? Stock turbo/internal wastegate. Do you adjust the amount of boost by just pushing the buttons and looking on the screen then? I've never used an electronic boost controller so bare with me

Re: boost controller

In the stock setup, boost is controlled by the ecm. The black thing you're referring to on top of the turbo is the boost solenoid.

Re: boost controller

Do those go bad bad any chance cause my turbos boost is weird noise since the lil vac line from the wastegate came off??

Re: boost controller

I was reading your post about that. I highly doubt it would go bad just from the line being disconnected for a short amount of time unless something got clogged in it. Probably wouldn't hurt replacing it though especially since you just bought the truck. You know what you have then :2cents:

Edit:: I see you picked up an AFPR huh?

Re: boost controller

Good point thats what i have been doing with everything else on this truck might as well. but i think i am goin to try a blow it out with an air compressor first to save money for the time being.

No its acutually its been there since i bought it its just that i forgot to put it in the sig.

Same here. I bought mine in January and I haven't had to replace anything major yet, but have been going through and changing a bunch of little stuff.

I got the Blitz ID 3 electronic boost controller. It's really pretty cool. I like it. Now if my truck would only make more boost...
