I broke the one I was working on when overtightening fittings so I need to get new parts before I can put it back together and give it a try. The one you have sure looks fancy. Have you got it hooked up and tried it yet?

Thanks both ..
the long story short it the wastegate open ( no signal to the wastegate ) place the boost at 20 PSI easily .. and yes scary in my engine, due to are not ready to handle that kind of boost and the CT26 are not maped to spin at those speeds ... Anycase the first time I run it ( sencond pic ) was an on off switch .. of factory boost or full boost ( what means 20 PSI or more ) .. so I ask and the seller said run as the 3rd pic ( open side to the atm ) for internal wastegate as mine .. So I did .. but the boost controler can only allow 12 - 12.5 PSI of boost that are not my target .. at this time I start tight the knob .. until I broke it .. After I broke it realice ( seen inside ) that there are not posible way that this boost contoler allow more than the boost that I get .. coz I broke the knob coz was already totaly open  I'm seen a few ones in eBay .. but wana ask for some pre experienced users here .. |
