max if you dont have a boost controler, min if you do

So you're installing your turbo kit yourself, and you never knew this? You've NEVER looked into the Forced Induction Forum FAQ!???

I'd hate to be your car at this point

minimum. although you could see slightly more or less than 7psi without a boost controller depending on the setup and your vac source.

thanks tweak hey there was a oring that mated with the exahuast manifold to the WG it was a steal like oring, was i suppose to use it? theres a tiny gap but im guessing the oring seals it up?

twkdCD595

you mean that? if so yes you need that to properly seat the gate/ valve to your manifold.

yah thats exactly it thanks twkdcd595, i couldnt get mine to sit flush on the flanges and its torqued down pretty tight, its really close but i think the flange started warping so i stoped, seamed to have a tight seal though.

It should be fllange againt flange flat.

No you're wrong. If you dont have a boost controller, you have one hose running to it, thats the boost reference that opens the wastegate port.
With a manual boost controller, well its the same, except you alter the reference signal.
With an electronic boost controller, you have a hose going to the top side that counters the pressure in the wastegate, which then alters the amount of boost and characterstic how the boost raises.
Nothing to do with switching hoses and switching hoses is most likely going to cause you engine damage.

transpro

I dunno, I just called my boy that works there and he said you can definitely move the hose around and get different boost pressure.

I dunno about synapse... no experience with it.

Yes, with a Synapse you can control boost levels without a boost controller

unfortunately he is right, these questions are answered many times before.

you can do that with a turbonetics also, but it doesnt make it consistent.

to answer the op question, with a boost controller, the general rule is you can adjust no lower than the spring, and 2-2.5 times the spring on the high side.
