Ok im running a 8.5psi spring in my tial wastegate and i have a AEM Tru-boost controller.

Id like to set up my car where i can run less boost for daily driving and turn it up when i feel the need.

I have the boost controller set up but i dont think its working because no matter what I get 8.5psi nothing less.

So - is it hooked up wrong? Do i have to take the spring out / put in a lower PSI spring?

 

You need to put in a lower PSI spring. Wastegates can only run their pre-set and above (with a manual boost controller). I suggest a .4 Bar spring. It will allow you to adjust the boost from approx 6psi to 11psi.

 

Makes sence. Thanks

 

Yep! Spot on

 

Actually, I should have put manual/electronic boost controller.

 

My "Certified AEM Tuner" said he didnt know how to adjust the tru boost...

I even figured it out...

 

I am so glad you talked me out of going to Ripp mods.

Can't you adjust it in the F/IC software, or is that just the UEGO?

 

Thats another thing ive been looking into... But how do u used the UEGO contoller gauge with the F/IC .. im sure it would make tuning 10x easier

Right now the UEGO data output goes into the F/IC but it simply shows the number on the screen / logs it. It doesnt "controll" anything...

No - tru boost does not hook into the F/IC

But hey my tune is almost 100% and no CEL!!!!!!

 

yeah, its by duty cycle, its would have been easier if its boost..

 

Yea.. trial and error i guess...

 

my guesstimate is 1 psi per 10% duty cycle or around that

 

I didn't mean that the F/IC can control the UEGO like that, I just meant you could make adjustments to the gauge itself, like control the range, the warning...that stuff, lol .

 

how do you do that?!

 

Setup > Aux Gauge

I haven't played with it, I just saw it lol. Not sure if you can actually do anything with it though.

 

Seriously, Id love to go to RIPP since they are literally 15 minutes away from my house here on Staten Island.

but ive heard too many horror stories from them in past years...

Carbon, where are you going to get tuned?

someplace in jersey...maaybe we can get tuned at the same time and work a deal out and save money

let me know how your tuning goes and send me your maps!

Ill send you my collection in return!
