Re: man. boost controller (?)
simple explanation for internal wastegates (stock setup). the more pressure that travels from the turbo to the wastegate the lower the boost. You restrict that line, and the boost increases. When you have a controller mounted far away it takes longer to fill that hose and pressurize distance A to B. Therefore, the wastegate does not respond properly, the engine makes too much boost, it starts to detonate and it pulls timing. As a result it is actually slower, eventhough you are making more boost.
You should verify the maximum boost your combination makes before it starts detonating. Whether its 10psi or 20psi when you reach that limit that's it.. Anything more and it's only going to hurt your engine and performance.
Race gas is like an intercooler.. It will help prevent detonation but it wont eliminate it. Just because you run 100+ octane doesn't mean 20psi is safe.. even for a few seconds..
