Trying out max spool 19

[0degC]

so i better run max 17 than max 20?

Likely make no difference.

Yeah. A Turbosmart manual boost Tee

hi did you try the turbosmart manuel boost contrôler? i bought one but did not try it yet thks

Yep. Been running them on this and my 1100 for awhile now.

ok so just to be clear if i turn the screw out - it shoud be the boost i had before and when i turn + the boost will raise?

Are you using this to get higher boost back after adding header? Don’t think this will work if so.

why?

why?

I don’t know anything about this controller. But I believe the extra flow from the header is pushing waistgate open overcoming actuator spring at 17-18lbs. Normally this happens at 21lbs. So only way your going to raise your boost is with a lock or stiffer actuator. Your likely making same power at 18 with header as before header at 20.

good point but ben told me to shim the waist gate about 1/8” to 3/16” to raise the boost 1-2 lbs so if your right it won’t raise the boost cause the spring is not stiff enough? well i don’t no either will see next winter

This will work. shiming waist gate effectively stiffens spring. Or..Tomcat performance sells a direct replacement actuator with different changeable springs if you want to try that. The other controller you have don’t think will do anything for you in this case.

Turbosmart just tricks the wastegate bellows into seeing less air pressure.... therefore keeping the wastegate closed

Shouldn't need any of this to run Max Spool 19.....Its just a lean version of max spool 20...

How did this work for you?

Are you still running this on your 998? Seems like a very good alternative to the expensive wastegate upgrade.

 

[sledding rocks]

why not buy the upgraded waste gate from td ? and get the upgraded tunes to match

Oh I likely will, just seen this and am curious how it works.
