Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Absolute
pressure boost controller
Hi Guy's
I've
received my E-Boost controller from TurboSmart. It's a nice looking unit with
a very complete install package. I removed my panel last night and brought it
home to fit this gauge in and will now head out to the airport to finish the
install. However after reading the manual, there is no mention at all that is
controlling based on absolute pressures rather than differential pressure. The
guy I talked to on the phone assured me that it does, but you know what
salesman can be like.....
I haven't
yet received my new wastegate actuator (ups delayed as they didn't have my
phone #), so I won't be able to test the E-Boost yet.
Changing
the wastegate is going to be a real pain. The wastegate itself is very
accessible but of the 2 mounting bolts, one is under the compressor, just out
of reach of a wrench, so will require removal of the turbo unit, which means
the exhaust pipe, intercooler, oil & coolant lines, etc... aaaarrgh. I'll
see if I can't modify the bracket to use 2 more accessible bolts, in
case I ever have to do this again.
