Default turbosmart manual boost controller

Who's got one?

How do you adjust it? As in, 'X' amount of clicks 'X' amount of added boost.

I'm assuming that turned all the way to the left, that's "open" and it runs on whatever the 'gate says and turning it to the right adds boost from there...

There should be a + and - symbol on the dial - means less boost and if it is turned all the way down it will be running off of the waste gate spring. Some say a full turn will usually get 1#, but what I noticed on mine was a couple of clicks would get me a #. Start with it all the way off and make minor adjustments until you reach your target boost pressure. Thats what I did with mine.

I was told there is a certain number of clicks that made 1#, and you just went from there.

I see the + and - on the dial, and like I said, I guess all the way towards the (-) makes it run off the WG, mine's 6psi.

Ill be breaking the new motor in on 6# and then going from there, I guess ill just take it a click or two at a time till I get to 10# (for the street) and then keep going to 15# (for the track)

-or when this turbo is maxed out, whichever comes first
