Max boost setting with UTEC and ABC
What should I limit the maximum boost to in 3rd or 4th gear at WOTwith the UTEC running stage 2 program with the auxillary boost controller and with a catlless downpipe back exhaust. If I'm using the stock downpipe is it a turbo back? Sorry, I'm a novice at this. BTW, I have the stock pressure gauge also - mPa.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Gman,
If I'm remembering correctly, the directions recommend that you adjust the ABC so that it'll peak to 16.5 lbs in 4th gear between 4000-4500 rpms. 3rd gear doesn't allow the turbo to boost enough, if you use 3rd gear, you'll have overshoot in 4th and more overshoot in 5th.
Each complete turn out should increase the boost by about 1 lbs, according to Turboxs. Adjust in small increments.
Have you read the directions that came with the UTEC, it outlines most of the tech stuff in there. Also you may want to to the Turboxs site and read the other installation instructions.
Hope that helps.

TWRX,
Thanks for the reply. I'm adjusting a bit blind since I only have the instructions from TurboXS website. For the stage 2 you are suppose to limit the turbo boost to 16.5 PSI in 4th gear at 4000 RPM's. Is this verified at WOT? Currently in 4th if I mash the gas the boost peaks around 0.14 MPa (sorry I have the factory boost gauge). I think I might need to adjust the ABC down, but then it will be like stock and only go to .10 MPa. Thanks again.

GMAN,
Yeah, this is supposed to be at WOT.
There's a great conversion site that I found.
Pressure conversion
Hope this helps.
