Started off today with doing a pressure test on system had a huge amount of air escaping from the cold start choke between turbo and manifold
Decided best thing to do was remove the mechanism from it housing and block off the holes as i have never needed the cold start feature even when its been -8
Retested the system and no leaks
moved on to boost controller had seen 2 or 3 different ideas online went with this one.
quick trip to the nz-hosed and i had the bits
Hello how did you pressure test your system? Cheers Peter
Took a bit of experimentation to get the spring length close to correct first i plugged it on air compressor set to approximately 12psi tuned the valve to release around there, only did a small trial on truck its self, I was able to increase power a bit and decrease back to normal, so the theory works
Decided to leave it off truck until i can get access to a boost gauge to test it properly think the gauge will have to wait a few weeks as money a bit short now
Will be interesting to see how well it works when setup with proper gauge
Will let you all know
Steve

Do your test at the intake or pipe leading from turbo to intake.
