it probably spikes on your cousin because he doesnt know how to use to use it nor how to work on cars nor how to tune a car I say do it!

 

Gee thanks, anyone else?

 

Bump would like some ffedback and yes i search.

 

Atleast its not SSautochrome........

DO it

 

i had one and it wouldnt hold boost, it was hooked up right, but for some reason it wouldnt hold boost, got a greddy profec b spec 2 and then the problem was solved with a little messing with the profec b.

 

I have the dual stage turbosmart manual boost controller no problems at all.... It has never spiked on me. Just my 2 cents

 

we have 2 of the manual controllers on our race car, these things work great 40+ psi of boost here

 

I was wondering about these also

 

Up i need to know too

 

i have the turbosmart with the in cabin control ****. its ok but the settings are inconsistant.

 

spiked 20psi today on the dyno with one, it was suposed to be set right around 10psi. luckily a charge pipe blew instead of something else lol.......it's going in the garbage.

 

my manual dual stage turbosmart seems to be working well.....

the eboost?

Turbosmart is supposed to be good ****.

something is probally wrong with your setup for it to be spiking from 10psi to 20psi

 

See too many did work for me and didnt work for me, this is why im so hesitant.
TTT
Anyone else?

 

I know for a fact that turbosmart has a great quality, otherwise, I wouldn't even be thinking of carrying them.

I persoanlly have never heard of any problem spiking, but again, spiking is caused by poor manifold/WG placement rather than boost controller issues. This is about 90% of the time.

If you spike from 10 to 20 psi, then something else must be up...

We are using the dual stage manual boost controller from turbosmart on a turbo RSX we built. It works perfectly. The EBCs we tried could not react fast enough with the GT30R and usually overshot the boost. The manual kept the boost rock solid.

 

That ss autocrome crap is shotty. Email the guy and ask him about warranties lol.

 

the car itself is holding 7psi perfect everytime with just the wastegate. i'm no pro on this stuff but the shop i dynoed at narrowed it down to the boost controller malfunctioning. the manfold is a full-race style with a turbonetics wastegate.

its the single stage mbc by the way, got it from ebay new so hard to tell....

 

Wow I might actually consider buying a manual boost controller after this thread.

 

TTT need more incite.

 

up for more info... I would also like some details as to how people hook these up... I run the dual stage on my car, and hook it up according to the instructions, and still had some problems with it spiking/creeping... Just wondered if any of you folks have tried hooking them up differently....

 

turbosmart is good. mine works perfect.
