S40_Flyer Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 OMG, I can't wait til I get my 14T installed!!! I wana set my boost at like 1.2-1.3 (18-19psi). You think that would work ok?I would REALLY like to get it to like 1.4 or about 20psi just to be able to say my car boosts 20psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to set it to 1.3bar. I doesn't hold. 1.25 Bar it does.I think you need some exhaust mods to allow that high boost. My exhaust is still stock. BTW, make sure it can inject enough fuel. Injectors big enough (green or red Siemens will do) and maybe a chip to tell the ECU to inject enough fuel.Also, watch out things don't get too hot.

S40_Flyer Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 1) Got TME cat-back. That should be good for a while.2) Got the 420cc injectors from Volvo. Those should hold a while also.3) Got and EGT and Boost gauge from Greddy. Those will work fine for watching the temps.I guess 1.2 BAR is enough for me.

S40_Flyer Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 The stock 2002 injectors are 420cc. I thought Carlos did a check or something on them. I personally havent seen what injectors I have, but so far I've heard 2001+ have red(420cc) injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiranmanu Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 okay well you guys i know this might sound like an idiotic question but here goesI wanna get this. I am just gonna get the 1 from boostvalve.com. I think I can install it without any problems. But this is my question how do I set the boost on it? Like do I turn something on it? Or do I have to get the Turbo gauge that goes inside the car? I have everything stock 1.9 T 2004, so should I set the settings to 12 PSI? or less? turbo gage like this Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janis1568908554 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Do you have the gauge that's on the picture? If so you don't need another gauge.Install the MBC, there's a knob on top, it's like a big bolt.Drive, check the boost. If it's too low, turn the bolt so it goes deeper into the MBC, drive and check again etc..etc..etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take the line running to the intake and simply remove it, then plug the hole that's in your intake. The line that was running to the wastegate actuator you plug into the output of the MBC, and you plug the remaining line into the input. What do with the actual sensor I haven't quite figured out, the car will run with it removed from the car, but I'm not sure what effect if any this has on the car. I'm not sure if I should reinstall it and cap it, or just leave it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S40Monster1568908557 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Another update, cap off your BCS and leave it plugged in. Removing it from the car completely with throw all sorts of engine codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s40-sick-o Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Ok....i js got my Boost controller from Ebay. for about 30 bucks....What ever happened to the solenoid deal? And when turning the boost up or down....how sensitive is the little knob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S40Monster1568908557 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 It's hard to say how sensitive it is, just use your boost gauge and adjust accordingly. I have found that the best way to install is to remove the BCS then cap off the hole left in the intake and all three vacuum connections on the BCS, however leave it plugged in to the harness. Then run the line coming from your turbo to the input of the MBC and the line going to the wastegate actuator on the output. I can take pictures if it will help, but it's really pretty self explanitory what's you get in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
