Bleed type boost controler
I have just cheaply got a turbo smart bleed type boost controler. I pipe the controler in between the turbo outlet and the solenoid that the outlet connects to. I have tried everything and can,t get a response out of this controler. What am I doing wrong?

Even if you do what you have listed, the ecu will learn around it because the ecu thinks it cant control the boost. Hook the boost controller inline, bypassing the solenoid, to the wastegate actuator.irishsetter wrote:No my subaru tech said that I should put it in front of the soleniod to full the ecu on how much pressure there is.
But leave the electrical connection on the solenod plugged in, or you will get an engine code.

You should take it off and blow through the inlet, with your mouth, by turning the screw you will be able to quickly see which way will increase or decrease the amount of air coming out of the other side. You want less air to be able to pass out the outlet. That means the turbo will produce more boost.

So you removed hoses M, L, and K (at least), and put the boost controller between the compressor outlet and wastegate actuator with some 1/4" hose?
Are you sure you have the inlet and outlet right?

I don't think so. If it requires an external tee, then it also requires an external restrictor.
Generally the boost controller is a tee. It has an inlet and an outlet and somewhere also has an orifice (which could be concealed behind something) through which air is bled.

If it is indeed how you describe it, then it must require an external restrictor. If this device was actually marketed as an MBC, I doubt that is the case.
I would be very surprised if it couldn't handle the volume; that doesn't actually vary that much among factory setups.
You're supposed to be bleeding off air going to the wastegate actuator. No solenoid involved. Your Subaru Tech either miscommunicated or doesn't understand how this works.

It is a Turbox bleed type boost controler. The wrx guys put it T ed off of the line that feeds the pressure sensor that tells the ecu where the presure is at. It works just like a needle valve. It bleeds pressure before the sensor so the waste gate will open and allow more boost. I was hoping that I could make this valve work in some way on our vehicle but I guess not.

I guess I don't know much about WRXes, but that doesn't make any sense to me. You install MBCs on turbochargers, not on pressure sensors.
Try installing the boost controller how I'm saying to. Just try.
