I have a dual stage boost controller. But if I don't wire up the wires to the in cabin switch that switch between high and low, it would act like a single stage boost controller, right?

 

it sure would. The wires are just to power the soleniod for the second stage. Why would u spend and extra $100+ for a dual-stage just to use it as a singe??

 

I got it for 70.00 and I just need it for one stage for now till I get the motor tuned right.

 

ill trade you for my single stage... its the HP one too.

 

nah im going to use the feature, just not right now

 

anyone know which hose goes where? theres a brass nipple and a blue nipple.while one goes connected to the side port of the wastegate and which one goes to the vac. manifold?

 

I'm telling you man, a 5 minute call to Turbo XS and the tech guy will tell you.

 

bit the bullet and made the long distance call. Good thing I took dax's advice and called because I had it set up backwards. Blue nipple goes to the side port of the wastegate and brass nipple goes to the Vac. manifold

 

I wish I could have told you what they told me, but my car is not in front of me. I called from work...eat them long distance charges, bitches!

 

That does't sound right...I had the Dual Stage before...the brass (bottom nipple) goes to the wastegate and the blue (side nipple) goes to a pressure source.

 

I have te same controller and i didnt hook the switch up yet. I just needed the single stage for now. And it works fine.

i think the port from the WG goes to the side port and the vac source goes to the bottom. I gotta check quick

 

does this help?

4/ Remove the pressure hose fitted to the waste gate actuator and insert it over the silver colored nipple of the boost controller. Note the inlet direction arrow on the boost controller. Use the pre-existing hose clamp to secure the hose onto the boost controller.

5/ Take the extension hose and fit it onto the blue colored nipple. Fit the other end to the waste gate actuator. Use the supplied hose clamp to secure the hose onto the nipples.

Note : Installing the TurboXS D ual Stage Boost Controller backwards will prevent the valve from performing properly. Ensure the arrow stamped on the boost controller is in the same direction as the inlet supply pressure from the turbo.

 

^^ did you check on your car which one goes where?

 

i just pasted the instructions from Turbo XS.
Doesnt that help?

 

Just look at the nipple's. The nipple w/ a large hole(blue) is the inlet and the nipple w/ a small hole(brass) is the outlet. The inlet get's vacum from manifold and the spring regulates how much is sent out the outlet to the wastegate. If the small hole is used as the inlet than nothing will get in, and nothing will get to the wastegate.

 

well I drove the car and it had 20 vac and gauge never read boost. thought it was the gauge so I checked all the lines but the gauge was right. The BC was backwards and that was the problem. so for the record....... Blue nipple goes to side port of the WG and the brass nipple goes to the vac source.
