In fact because it's an automatic I'm never going to rev into the red anyway because it'll change gear and on overdrive I'm certainly not going to go that fast! So why not bring the boost to 12psi @ 4000 revs?...

It could be that boost pressure comes in earlier when driving because of everything being under load. Just a guess though.
yes, you need to drive it and have it under load to check boost levels.
free reving it in neutral will never show proper boost.

ah sugar, sorry, missed the fact you tested at a standstill. Sorry. Yes you will need to be under load for a real idea of whats happening. My guess is you will come onto boost at 1800rpm.
I moved mine as it wasgetting vibration interfearence. its mounted onto the brake master cylinder now. youers will be on the other side though I understand? Being a 2nd?

here are a couple of pics of the boost controler instalation. Appologies for the lack of microsoft paint skills.
First picture shows the smaller turbo pipes and the others are the water and oil pipe removed to allow access.
Second picture shows a simple bracket I quickly made to hold the controler.
second picture needs rotating 90 degrees but I'm new to windows 10 and I'd rather be outside than learning that cr@p! I did try thoughLast edited by Mr Malleenos; 25 September 2015, 12:24.

After the Hilux flying through it's MOT after two tears off the road she flew down the road!
Foot about 2/3 to the floor like normal, the boost needed turning down because the ecu was cutting out the fuel (no engine warning light). Now with the same 2/3 to the floor and about 10psi there's a real difference to what was probably 8psi before. Happy days.
