I've been enjoying the turbocharged life, but without a project a man gets restless. So I'm looking at this empty plug in my dash and I get an idea...
So I get a $6 control cable make a quicky bushing and install it in the hole...
Then I grab a $5 manual boost controller from ebay...
And modify it so that it is cable operated instead of knobbed...
Finally I install it in the wastegate lines...
And put a sweet knob on my dash...
... and then.................. it didn't work. I'm not a turbo expert by any means, but even with the boost controller turned all the way up I didn't see over 10lbs. Not really sure why, maybe thats all a 3B has in it? I'm sure I've heard of people running more??
Anyway, please educate me as to why this didn't work?
I was soo looking forward to having a turbo knob on my dash.
