Manual Boost Controller Setup - three most common setup options  

Manual Boost Controller Installation

Installation of a manual boost controller depends on the type and configuration of your turbo system. Below are the three most common ways of installing a Turbosmart Manual (Gated) Boost Controller.


INTERNAL WASTEGATE SETUP

• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller

• Locate the pressure source port and the wastegate actuator port on the turbocharger assembly

• Remove the factory boost control solenoid if fitted from the boost pressure supply port while leaving the solenoid connected to the ECU

• Install your boost controller in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuator

• If your wastegate actuator has additional ports, these will need to be blocked

• Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps

• Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws

• Make sure the boost dial is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.




EXTERNAL WASTEGATE SETUP


• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller

• Locate the bottom port on the external wastegate and the pressure source port

• Install the Boost Tee in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the bottom port on the wastegate

• Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps

• Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws

• Make sure the boost dial is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.




PARALLEL TWIN TURBO SETUP


• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller

• Locate the wastegate actuator ports on both turbochargers and a pressure source port

• Remove the factory boost control solenoid if fitted from the boost pressure supply line

• Install your boost controller in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuators.

• Be sure to keep the hoses joining the wastegate actuators at equal lengths

• Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps

• Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws
