External WG Manual Boost Controller?

[Sean Krupa]

As most of you guys have seen, I upgraded to a PTE63 with RPM 3" DP and Precision 39mm Wastegate. I understand that an Electronic controller would be ideal such as the AEM Tru boost, but before spending some more coin, would a Manual Boost Controller such as the Boost valve be safe to run? I have a 15psi spring in the WG.

I have Code59 with WB and running Alky. If I truely have to spend the $300 for an Electric, I will. I'm used to spending all my money anyways lol.

All opinions are appreciated, Thanks!

The Typhoon will be on the road soon, just looking for some input. For the time being and simplicity, I will be hooking up a hose from the Turbo to External WG. It has a 15psi base spring. Until I get the Tune good and start upping the boost I'm thinking 3 options. Trying to stay away from Electronic atleast for now.

1- Use the Wastegate base boost spring for target boost. I have a couple more springs to add to the 15psi spring to raise up the boost.

2- Add a Manual Boost controller.

3- Hook up the Stock Wastegate Solenoid and tee it into the External WG and use Code59 to control boost via F70 and F71 tables.

Again, not sure on what Boost I'm guna run as of yet. Will have to see how much power this new Turbo makes and how much power I want :turbo:

I saw a thread for 2 electric ones recently that were FS cheaper than 300. It may have been in the wanted section.

I've been using a manaul booste knob and external wastegate for years in my Typhoon with no booste issues.

I think you will be fine with running a manual knob style.

Good luck,

Turbo Logic Model TL-21 BK manual boost controller. Holds steady boost at 20psi.

I use boostvalve.com controller. About as simple as u can get. Operates a stock style WG. How well it would work with your setup? Not sure...

Hi Sean i would not recommend hooking up the
stock solenoid together with the manual boost controller
if you are running a 15 psi WG spring this pressure
can be boosted up to 30 psi easy !!! :tup:

Re: External WG Manual Boost Controller?

Nothing wrong with a manual boost controller, just keep in mind the minimum youll be able to control is whatever the spring is on your wastegate so make sure you've got something lower than 15 available if you're dialing in a new combination.
