lowering boost for running in??
Turbo Mini Forums

hi

can you make a turbo boost lower than standerd for running in?
im going to run a r5 t2 which i think is 10psi standerd, but thats a bit much for running in imo,s o how would i go about lowering it? could i adjust the actuator to run lower boost?
or would i need a differnt actuator? or waht?

just wind actuator out a few turns, but when running in you shouldnt be using a lot of peddal in the early days so shouldnt see boost any how.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

ok thats what i thought
i think its best to run lower boost just incase the my foot slips, and incase i need to make an emergancy start!lol

I ran mine in at 14psi+ on the rollers! lol!

Just getting a 5-10psi spring as its a bit of an animal and difficult to map at high boost straight off! lol!

Even with my actuator backed off so as it had no preload i didnt get it to boost very low.

With an R5 actuator cant you bleed some signal INTO the back of the actuator to act against and hence reducing the boost?

I think if you plumb it in so there is boost both sides of actuator then the wastgate will stay shut for longer leading to more boost? My standard five only runs 7psi anyway so this is about what you are after?

Personally I wouldn't bother messing around changing things just for running in!

Its pretty easy to drive off the turbo, and you would struggle to accidently get to full boost even on a T2 as it still takes a heavy foot to get there!

I would of thought a little boost/load would help with the run in anyway as long as your sensible.
