Thread: Boost Controllers

I Just installed a D Force boost controller with the EGT included. Removed the stock control valve from the circuit. Set myself up 3 boost settings low 15psi , med 17psi and high 19.5psi with over boost protection set at 21.5 psi and Max EGT temp at 750 degrees Celsius. Works great can see my boost pressures and EGT and can switch between with a push of a button. Less lag than before and more responsive . It's a great product.

Now just need a bigger intercooler and remap , upgrade exhaust manifold or fabricate a steam pipe one and see what power I can push out without going past safe EGT range

What boost levels are you guys running with remap and upgraded intercooler?

Good to read.
I reckon on the Tdi it also feels more responsive, less lag too. But Tdi is a totally different snail compared to the much smoother TD5.
Good to know that it works well on the TD5, I'd have thought it may not play nicely with the TD5 engine management system, and cause limp home disease or something.

My next plan is to get a VNT for the Tdi, and the boost controller won't work with a VNT, so will end up fitting to brothers TD5 .. if I don't get one myself by then!

ps. and your install is so much nicer looking that how I did mine .. it's bright red faced embarrasing(even tho no one has seen my install) .. just a confessional here.
So I'll have to cut the cable tie holding my controller valve to the damper upright and fit a neat looking bracket myself too!

The only gotcha/caveat with the control valve I was told by the shop guy I chatted too (for ever and a day) when I got mine .. he said just to be sure you don't get the unused port blocked with gunk.
ie. fitted in the engine bay, if you travel over mud or dusty roads a lot, and it can build up in the engine bay at all, check the cleanliness of the port.

Looks like you have a hose(breather) attached. Going into where?
I was thinking of using a breather hose too but going into the air cleaner box, or a small inline fuel filter.

Yeah got to keep the valves exhaust port out of the **** . I directed it into the intake after the air filter where the factory unit was plumbed in . Nice and unrestricted this way and stays clean

Keppmeister , how much for an egt probe plate lol.. nice work
