Manual boost controller diagram

Install a toggle switch inline with the ignition source wire between the boost controller and the voltage source. Mount toggle

switch where desired.

Install a 1A (amp) fuse inline between the boost controller and the voltage source. The fuse to be as close to the voltage

source as possible.

Toggling the switch on and off should activate and deactivate the second stage in your boost controller respectively.

Having the switch in the “OFF” position w ill deactivate the higher boost setting. ) 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 (refer drawing 1)

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

Install the DSBC Tee piece 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, and then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws

Pressure source (Located before the throttle body) Boost dial Boost controller Equal lengths DSBC Tee Piece Wastegate actuators ports Turbochargers SETTING BOOST PRESSURE IMPORTANT NOTES ON BOOST PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Adjustment to your boost controller is made by rotating the Boost Dials Rotate in a clockwise direction to increase boost and the reverse direction to decrease boost Before making any adjustment, the Boost Dials will need to be fully closed (anti-clockwise)

Step 1: Apply full load to the engine in a high gear (at least 3 or 4 gear) at full throttle and note the boost pressure

Step 2: To increase the low boost setting, rotate the Low Boost Dial clockwise (maximum of 1 complete revolution at a time)

Step 3: Apply full load to the engine and note the boost pressure

Step 4: Compare the actual boost pressure with the desired boost pressure. If the actual pressure is below the desired pressure,

return to step 2. If the actual is above the desired boost then decrease by rotating the Boost Dial anti-clockwise and return

Step 5: Once the low boost setting is complete, follow step 2 to step 4 on the High boost dial . BOOST SPIKING

If boost spiking occurs and is undesirable for your application, the gate system can be removed to give you a less aggressive boost

curve. This modification is only required in a minimal number of applications. Boost spike curve Ideal boost curve IMPORTANT NOTES ON GATE SYSTEM REMOVAL The gate system can be removed by the following steps. Perform this modification on a clean bench so that the ball and spring are not lost Allow the engine to cool down before removing the boost controller from your vehicle

Identify the input nipple with the restrictor at the end on the DSBC tee piece. Loosen the input nipple and remove the ball and

Check that the internal air passages are clear and free from debris Re-install the boost controller by following the instructions for your setup You will need to re-adjust your boost settings after the removal of the gate. Input Nipple with small hole DSBC Tee piece Wastegate Arrow TROUBLE SHOOTING

The following points should be checked if you find that your engine is developing excessive boost, the boost pressure is fluctuating or

the desired boost level cannot be achieved. Please note, the following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced when fitting a

Turbosmart boost controller. Check that the boost controller is installed so that the arrow points toward the wastegate actuator

Check the joining hoses for splits, cracks or loose connection and are the correct size for the application

Check to see if the boost controller is blocked or contaminated with dirt or debris

Ensure that there is nothing but the boost controller in the hose between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator, ie tee

pieces for boost gauge or to factory boost solenoid. Pressure test the wastegate actuator for leakage, the diaphragm or housing may be cracked or split Check that the wastegate is operating correctly DO NOT USE ANY TURBOSMART PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING AGREEMENT.
