Mine is under the hood and no it does not leak in my experience with it
i cant find the controller on the website..Mine is under the hood and no it does not leak in my experience with it
nevermind found it
go to catalog at top right>go to turbo's on bottom left (click the plus)>click misc turbo parts and it's the 6th one down
how do you adjust this one?go to catalog at top right>go to turbo's on bottom left (click the plus)>click misc turbo parts and it's the 6th one down
1/4 turn typically = 1 lbs. of boost
I'd advise using a boost gauge with it

she also has a micro one that's mountable inside of the car but it's 75 and I don't know how it works
like is there a screw or nut or what? does it build the boost relatively fast? mine is very slow now, im guessing because of the leak in it..1/4 turn typically = 1 lbs. of boost

it builds the boost very fast and it's a nut if I'm not mistaken
you undo the lockring and dial it there. And yes it builds boost quickly.
so thats probly my problem then if there is a leak in the controller then hu? boost hits good at like 3500 rpms but im thinking it shud hit harder a little sooneryou undo the lockring and dial it there. And yes it builds boost quickly.
where is the boost when it hits 3500? is this a stock setup on the car. Stock turbo or no.
Which T XS MBC are you using? One with just the setscrew, or one with both the ball and setscrew/needle?
the set screw with two black o rings. and i got a turbonetics 60 turbo, injectors,headwork,11:1 comp.,computer, balanced crank.forged pistons
The problem with that boost controller is its a simple bleed type MBC. As bbst pressure builds, it is always bleeding to the atmosphere.
The advantage the grainger valve (ball/spring) boost controllers (or any other like it) have over simple bleed styles is the boost doesn't bleed out until it reaches the pressure you want. At that time the boost pressure forces the ball and spring back, allowing boost to enter into the WG acuator line. You will notice with the other one, the WG can will slowly open as boost increases, causing "lag" in boost buildup
