Well this morning i decided to remove the n75 valve off my car(the compresser thingy that regulates the boost to the actuator).I thaught my car was down on boost so after reading many posts on the gti forum i changed all vac pipes and installed a boost gauge to find i was right it was well down running 0.5 bar at best :no: ,every one says you have to replace the n75 as if you bypass it,you will only get 0.5 bar :( ....so after some more head scratching i decided to fit a manual boost controller this morning to see if i could get the actuator to boost higher coz all the n75 valve does is restrict the air flow ;) Well it works mint boosts well the power delivery is great as long as i dont go silly with the boost levels i think it will be fine.

The car feels fun for the 1st time and actually feels like it deserves a gti badge

sounds good m8 :wink:

your car might feel low on boost because youve got no DV, say goodbye to your turbo

dv??? do you mean dump valve ? as i have :shocked:...surely the n75 just restricts the boost pressure opening and closeing quickly to give you the desired pressure,if so then the boost controller will do the same job by restricting the boost flow pressure. id rather take the chance of the turbo blowing and haveing fun driveing again than driveing a slow baga mk4,it stands me at next to nowt so the idea was to nail it till it blows up :grin:
-
if it was me m8 i would only run just over a bar ov boost to kep it safe but sounds like its a good idea :wink:
-
well in the picture theres no DV and no piping for the relocation kit, so what dv are you running?
like it " nail it till it blows up lol :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

yes mate that was the idea im not putting silly boost through, its chipped and only running just under 1 bar and thats fine with me :wink:,i want to see how much difference there is on cold mornings etc to check there are no spikes or anything amiss,then i may give it a tweek

i heard about the view of these on here :grin: ive tried a forge with no change so its not the dump valve im still betting it was the rubbish n75,but hey i got boost now so :wink:

Hi I have a MBC like the I can see what vac pipes you have used for the one way t-peice what are the pipes I have to cut to put the controller on as I can't see them in you pic. Only the MBC
Sorry for the stupid question
Thanks
-
Id have thought all you do is use the existing pipework. Then run a vac to the controller to allow adjustments
-
This is exactly what im trying to do ,do you have a better photo of what pipes I have to t into for the boost controller I see the one way t piece, then clear hose goes to boost gauge I take it many thanks
