chris2o2 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I Just realised today my TT is only going to 0.7bar boost - there must be a way of turning it up but being my first turbo car i dont have the faintest yet . Dont shout - can anyone explain it maybe ? Its a j-spec what is considered safe on the standard tubbys ? Cheers Theres another wee doo-daa box beside my left knee with 4 buttons on it .

Scott Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Pretty sure thats a boost controller, could be wrong though. I don't know how to work it though. Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Looks like an AVCR you have there. Can you get some decent daylight pics of the controller? It can run as much boost as you want it to but we need to have full specs of your car in order to recommend what is safe. For some background info have a read here: bpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 I will get some decent pictures tomorrow , sorry they are a bit crap - taken the day i got it with my phone . Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think homer is right, first pic looks like an AVCR but could be one of numerous Apexi products as many are the same shape. The second pic is a control for your gauges and their peak warning sensors, etc. With stock j-spec tubbies you are safe to boost them to about 1.25 bar max...AS LONG as you have the supporting mods, ie walbro fuel pump, decats, FCD, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 After ramping up the gamma correction in photoshop it seems to be an SAFC2, not a boost controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 it's the apexi version of the defi link controller, just controls the guages... I have one. you will need a boost controller sir, if you do not have one already. 1 bar if you are a gentleman, 1.2 if you want to push the issue, no more. check that the boost does not climb out of control - called boost creep - (keep an eye on the apexi boost guage there).. it may happen in 4th gear and over if someone has dicked around with the exhaust. first stop is to find, if not fit a boost controller. ps whats the box ontop of your steering column? turbo timer?

chris2o2 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah turbo timer is on top . It does have a walbro fuel pump i know that for sure and yes that below the stereo is the apexi SAFC 2 . It also has one decat , the second one i think and the RLTC . I think i may wait until better weather now for the boost controller 0.7bar is enough really for a new owner at the moment i think - i just thought that 0.7 bar was a odd number for it to be set at . Im a bit embarresed at how little i know about my own car(even if i've only owned it a week or so) . Gotta spend more time lurking here and learning .
