Chris and Alana Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi guy's, a couple questions on manual boost controllers really. How do you guys with these find they work on the supra? Are they a pain when the temps start getting lower in the winter (do you have to keep changing the setting)? And what about the in-car manual boost controllers. . . I take it they give you abit more controll as they are in the car but do you get the sound of releasing air then inside the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Manual boost controllers aren't worth the trouble IMHO, they aren't accurate enough. They are also a pain to setup correctly constantly. You are better off waiting and getting an electronic controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 ...on the other hand, I use two of them (ball and spring) and have always been very happy indeed. Yes, you need to turn a screw or two if the temperature drops a lot (like summer and winter settings) but that's it. Simplicity. Mind you, I'm not too fussy about a psi or two so it suits my needs. An electronic controller allows you more flexibility and more accurate boost settings, so if that's what you want just go for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Works for me and here if my boost graph to show its working just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use one to control each turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dini_the_owl Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 i thought you could get away with one on the 2nd actuator? That would be the bleed valve type so your 2nd actuator dosent see the correct presure output from the turbo, hence bleeding off some pressure.

JohnA Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 After 4Krpm it is the second actuator that makes all the difference The first one is only effective between 2-4K, you can get away without meddling with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I've had one on the Supra in the past too - effective vs cost however it did leak a little - boost pressure is much more consistant now I've got an electronic one (+ I like being able to turn it off completely when it's raining!)
