Or can the tuner alter boost through the ecu? How does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's old technology & these aren't hack skylines from the 90's. The factory computer doesn't like to be fooled, get it tuned properly. The falcon computer regulates boost via the wastegate with a solenoid in a closed loop system. The only way to do it safely is to tune it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things you can do with a bleed valve that will work perfectly fine (that mostly still involve tuning) but for the most part you will just want to tune it properly. 19 minutes ago, FiftyOne said: The falcon computer regulates boost via the wastegate with a solenoid in a closed loop system. It uses open and closed loop fyi, not that it's a major omission. 28 minutes ago, Slowxr6t said: How does it work?

Doing things properly and safely is best practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
