bleed valve / boost controller difference?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi
is there any difference between boost controller and bleed valve??

Which one would be the best to use, any comments why?

1.

2.

3.

i am not sure that i will use solenoid, or i should use it? why you need to have option to run 2 different boosts?

may be some one have diagram how to fit them as well ? :)

thank you for help!! :):)

Nothing special!

They are all basically bleed valves. To call them a boost controller....Well, a wastegate actuator is a boost controller too.

ok, thank you :)

any advice which one better? :)

what kind of controllers are you using??

Nothing special!

i found hks evc 3 electronic boost controller is it will be better than manual?

any advantages and disadvantages? :)

Nothing special!

Depends what you need or are trying to achieve.

On many applications a simple bleed valve does a very good job. And I'd suspect for most Mini applications...they work perfectly.

An electronic boost controller can be adjusted easily in-car...which is handy. And most generally can offer faster spool up, and better boost control targets.

But again....whether you need faster spool on a fwd car with little traction is debatable.
And it will also depend on how hard/soft the WG is to start with, and how much over this the EBC is actually targetting.

if its very little, then its probably a waste of money.
