i have a boost controller its manual. i dont know how to install on this car. do i put it in place of the bcs or what? has anyone upped their boost using a controller? how much boost can we push on stock injectors and fuel pump without a tune? i just have a custom cai. thats the only performance mod i have. any help with the boost controller install is greatly appreciated. also i live in the dallas area, any other ss owners around?

 

Pointless without a tune! Also anything over 22psi and your overworking the turbo! That mother will heat up big time

 

will work for like half a second without a tune than you boost 8lbs..... gay........ no do not try it..... and if you do prepare to be dissapointment

 

all i want to add is maybe 3 to 4 lbs for now. just to start with and go from there. i just want to make sure i wont lean out my motor

 

u wont lean it out to a point of hurting it and u can put a controller in there and when u punch it the boost will spike to what u got it set at then will quickly drop down to stock if it doesnt over boost and go into limp mode

 

why not spend your money on something that will actually help your car like a turbo back exhaust and a tune?

 

i don't think you understand us do you know anything bout your car yet.... any....ANY modifications and the ecu will "learn" what you did and tune the car DOWN so you will only be 260hp and 260lbs of tq the car can safely boost 22lbs..... but without a tune the learn feature will spit in your face and make you slo

 

Won't matter unless you're tuned. The computer will eventually lower the boost back down to only make 260hp. You will have great results for a couple days or so untill the ecu realizes it's overboosting.

Edit: Damn you guys are fast lol

 

u can get a tune as cheap as 250 from terifica and gain up to anywhere 290-300hp and 320-330tq based on mods and **** but dont waiste the money on a controller

If you realy want to put one in and find out for yourself you tap into the waistgate actuator pressure hose. Its a tiny black hose. Its located below the intake inlet on the turbo. easiest to get at if under car

 

if anything thing is turn the gate just alil bit

 

WTF?

 

i really dont know that much about my car yet. thats why im asking questions. the thing is i got the boost controller for free so why wouldnt i try it out and just see what happens. i just dont wanna damage the vehicle. i just dont know where to tie it in.

 

hey man I can help ya out. I hate a manual boost controller for like 4 months on my car but just took it off because i am getting tuned this week. Let me get some pics for ya. I will explain in detail. People say "oh the learn down feature lets it not work" and all that crap but when I had mine on my car was a lot faster and I broke loose in second gear when punching it. For me it didn't just spike to 20 psi, it help until like 5000 RPM. Anyone let me get you some pics man. Just ask me if you have any questions.

ok here is a close up of the hose you have to tap into for this to work. Many people do this wrong because they don't use this line

here is a further away picture of the line. It is the black rubber hose you see in the first pic.

ok well that;s all the pics i have. This hose is right underneath the turbo. Just jack up the car, get underneath it, and you will find it. Let me know if you have any questions

 

The stock tune in these cars is very lean to begin with. Running higher than factory boost will almost certainly be very bad for the motor. My car had 3-4* of knock for 3 seconds at WOT stock with 93 octane fuel. You will get more power out of a MBC, but unless you adjust the fueling you are asking for disaster.

 

very true. this is why I am tuning my car this week and took off the manual boost controller

 

is there anyone in the dallas area that can tune mine? i cant really send off my ecu. maybe someone has the hptuner

 

or you can get a Trifecta tune. They send the tuner to you with the tune installed on the tuner and it's very cheap. Only $250

 

can i get some details on the trifecta tune? wdoes it have the option to set it back to factory settings like some tuners do? how do i get one and what results will i get

 

i believe it is like 301 whp and 333 wtq. It is sold by Clear Image Automotive. Yes it can be tuned back to factory but you have to get the tuner again

 

on the website it doesnt say the tune is available for the 08 tc model
