Right, i'm going to be getting a low boost turbo conversion up and running in a few months time after i've recovered from my surgery i'm having later this week :? Now i'm gonna be upgrading to high boost in the near future, but gonna be at low boost for quite a while to tell the truth - most initial problems can be ironed out then and parts upgraded as i go.
Now i think the actuator on the turbo i've got is set to 10psi, although i think i remember hearing midge say that the actuator can be changed manually? When i'm initially up and running, i only want to be running something like 6psi to start with. I'm considering purchasing an electronic boost controller. Now my question is, if i manually adjust the boost to say.... 4psi, and then plumb the boost solenoid in the actuator to turbo pipe, can i safely adjust the boost with the controller between 4 and 10psi? I'll be running the low boost chip it's worth noting - so would it run correctly at lower than 10psi?
I'm just thinking that even thought it's low boost, it's still gonna be pretty rapid - hence i'd just like the ability to be able to turn the boost down to around 6psi if i so wished. Would running at all be affected, or are these chips only designed to work at 1 boost pressure level?
Cheers,
Al :-)
