Manual boost controller?? Thoughts?

[Martens199]

Hey guys,
So I was just seeing if I could get some input on whether or not to go with a manual boost controller, and if so what type is best?
My TVC is currently faulty and giving me a loss of boost at high altitudes. So before I replace I wanted to weigh the options first.

Almost any type will work. I have tried several different types, and ended up with the Hallman pro controller. Its basically the same as the cheaper type controllers, but you dont need any tools to adjust boost, which is a nice thing.

I run the Hallman Pro RX in the sleds I build.

Having troubles finding a good place to mount the valve. I do not have tunnel dump exhaust. I also would like it close to some mild heat. Does lengthening the lines affect the performance in any way?

No not much. You could install the Controller up front under the hood. Connect the pressure signal from the IC or the intake boots, run the line thru you Controller and back to the WG actuator.

I use Hallman Evolution with the remote adjuster mounted up near the steering column on left side. Makes for easy adjustment on the fly.

boost controller

I have the Hallman Pro RX and this is were I installed it. But this year I'm going to try the Electronic Multi Scramble Boost Controller. With some help from buddys on this site to set it up we will see how it works out.

Ok so having a long lines runing all the way up to my dash wouldn't affect anything? So to get this right, I can tee into the line say from my boost gauge. Then from there to the controller(turbosmart) then back down the tunnel to the waste gate? What would I do with the fitting off the bottom of the turbo compressor?

As long as Your line is of small inner diameter you will not have any problems, as the pressure signal will travel the short distance in tenths of a second.
