With my new set up (RPM stage 1 turbo, 3 inch no muffler exhaust, pitbull chip) i could make more than 15 lbs of boost at WOT easily. I obviously dont exceed more than 15 lbs while driving but my question is should i save up for a electronic boost controller or spend the extra money for the ultimate chip with 3 bar map?

Re: over boost with new setup
id say if your tight on cash get a standard bleed off to regulate the boost, you can go either way with it and its plug and play. Ive got the same turbo and love it, im using the stock solenoid to regulate and i top out at 14-16lbs depending on how accurate my guage is (or its spikes a lil). You could also lengthen the rod on the solenoid a half to a full turn and see what that does for you. Remove the fender and its a piece of cake (20 minute job total)
thats my next step ive got the 50lb injs and am about to get a chip for it

Re: over boost with new setup
Thanks for your opinion. I just shortened the rod by 1 turn yesterday to have it spool up a little faster so now i just need something to control the boost. As soon as i get some extra cash i think im going to go with the ultimate chip for stock injectros.

Re: over boost with new setup
first off you need to place a loop of vacume line directly between the turbo source and the actuator with out the solenoid in line. once you do this see if it still overboosts. if it still over boosts, neither one of the above mentioned products can lower your boost. a boost controller can only block the amount of pressure showed to the actuator thus increasing boost farther. dumb it down to just a loop of hose, and if it still overboosts then you need to either increase exhaust backpressure or you need to find a way for the wastegate on that turbo setup to work more effectively. if it no longer overboosts then by all means get yourself a controller to play with. also, my past experience is that there is no off the shelf chip that will accurately control boost

Re: over boost with new setup
I've had a stage 1 turbo for a while now and have ran my street pitbull chip with it without any kinds of problems.. I have it setup right now for 18 psi until I install my meth kit again but it holds that psi solidly.. I also have an electronic dump which is basically open exhust and had to make fine adjustments to the wastegate rod but again back at 18 psi sold so a pitbull chip and your turbo shouldn't have over boost issues in my opinion

Re: over boost with new setup
So E, you have never seen a stock or stock type chip (code 59 even) be able to reliably control boost, even with ported and prepped waste gate housings / puck removed on stock and 20G turbos? What about the PTE set up on a stock boost control?

Re: over boost with new setup
the ultimate for stock injectors would work reasonably well if you didnt have a bunch of mods, and there are trucks that have CUSTOM TUNED, wastegate tables, but like i originally stated..... i dont know of any off the shelf "chips" capable of accurately controlling boost. elevation changes along with varrying exhaust and turbo options make it impossible to get it perfect.
if you cant tune, you're better off with a high pressure actuator and no controller, than with something that works half ass.
