boosted22 Member 7 Member For: 18y 9m 27d Posted 05/12/14 06:18 AM Posted 05/12/14 06:18 AM just a quick question as I have to make a post anyway to become reactivated into the site lol will installing a electronic boost controller ( disconnecting standard control valve ) effect the computer in anyway my car is currently tuned to 12psi I wanna run 15psi the chick I got from is in no hurry to send me the controller with the 15psi tune it has all the supporting mods for 15 psi just wondering if it needs to be done through the factory computer or u can manually do it with out up setting anything ☺

How are you tuning the computer to run extra boost/fuel?What are you supporting mods? You just cant wind up boost and expect the computer to compensate.....

boosted22 Member 7 Member For: 18y 9m 27d Posted 05/12/14 07:40 AM Author Posted 05/12/14 07:40 AM so no you cant add a electronic boost controller so u can only ever run one boost setting unless u have a hand controller with a tune for that boost setting you wanna run ?
boosted22 Member 7 Member For: 18y 9m 27d Posted 05/12/14 07:45 AM Author Posted 05/12/14 07:45 AM sorry im not expecting the computer to just retune it self just meant if u do will the computer go in to limp mode etc by no longer controlling the wastegate etc
stretch4660 Member 122 Member For: 13y 9m 13d Posted 05/12/14 08:12 AM Posted 05/12/14 08:12 AM Could very well go into limp mode as the computer wouldn't be getting a reading from the standard boost controller.Have you had a chat to a tuning shop or someone of great expertise to get a good idea of how to go about it.?

What you're saying sounds extremely dangerous and could easily grenade the engine.Tune via HP tuners or SCT Xcal to suit whatever mods you've acquired..

Assuming it's an XCAL device.Also if it's an XCAL original those cannot be given new tunes any more, nor can an XCAL2 I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while.
