Hey, are manual bosst controller's any good? Also, can they be fitted in the cab, or do they go in the engine bay? Cheers, Dave.

yeah they're not bad, thay can be fitted in the cab but people say the closer to the turbo the better.

Uh, so if i put it behind me somewhere then near to engine? Can you get gauges for em so you know how much boost you got?

[Ryan S]

yeah, you'll get a gauge from halfords, or the net:):)best keeping the controller in the engine bay, i have mine cable tied to the cross brace,

I found mne didnt work properly or in short didnt work at all when in the cabin. Ned to keep the hoses as short as possible hence why it goes in the bay.

[loudandproud205]

yeah keep it in engine bay i put mine inside the cabin on long hose while i choose location and well i was getting .2bar boost spikes!

i really want mine in car adjustment thou as i dont want it to run flat out all the time, just increase to 1 bar when i get excited.

has anyone else noticed that with manual one you can set it to .5bar like the oe setting is?

[whitetrash]

get a decent second hand Electronic Controller

Mine was running .5 bar as the acuator was knackerd, .7 bar is normal.

Fitted GTS chris mbc (very good) and whilst adjusting .85 (may go to .95) got it as low down as .4 bar.

Rspec boost gauge aslo works well.
