turbo controller I was looking at the turbo controller that STS has to offer and all it is a switch for 2 preset levels. I want to have a controller that will work from 1-10psi what ever i want you know? what controllers out there are good? any recomendations on a certain one?
The STS controller is an electric switch that triggers a solenoid. Basically, you have two settings: the boost that your wastegate spring is set for; and a 0-5 or 0-15 psi manual control valve that feeds SOME of the boost to the backside of the wastegate actuator.
So, if you feed 3 psi to the back side, your boost at that point is wastegate + 3 psi. You have a manual valve that you can adjust by trial and error for your max boost. Then the switch controls whether or not you feed that pressure to the backside.
On my GTO, it will operate w/ a .6 bar spring [should see ~7 psi after intercooler]. Then, while tuning, we will dial in the manual valve at a SAFE level of power (don't want to break the pistons). At that point, I can run either ~7 psi or 10-12 or wherever we end up during tuning by flipping a small rocker switch.
Not real sophisticated, but they work. The eBoost2 looks awesome...as is the price!
