rodrigo Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 my 97 GLT has no performance upgrades whatsoever....its gonna have a boost gauge in it soon, and i'll go from there to other modifications.i just saw that dawes devices had a manual boost control valve and its soo cheap (to buy). will my little wimpy turbo get any performance out f this? is it hard to put in?

JESSEXC Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Not the best mod to do, but that's one of the first things I did to my car. After a couple of months of just using the MBC I went a ahead and had the ECU reflashed. Stock boost is 6-7 psi and just make sure to not go over 9.5 and you should be fine.

thelostartof Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 biggest thing is don't buy that valve from them as it can be made w/ parts from grainger for $12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrigo Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 im sorry, i'll run a search.but i would like to make the car a bit faster and have it be just reliable.i was thinking of a ECU upgrade and an exhaust first...like i said, im going ot run a search, but i dont know the order to go about the modification stuff . i would hate to buy somthing now to end up removing later on because of non compatibipity.

98BRICK Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 if i were gonna start all over again...i woodve done the chip last....if ur only plans are for an exhaust and a chip (and not much else)...thats a good place to start...but do get the boost gauge first...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicLemonade Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 yes, do the guage first so you can monitor any irregularities in performance. It will help to spot a boost leak or a vacuum problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazzn Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 You can make it your self, as someone said for nothing but if you do buy it, it's not a bad valve.I think you can run 14 PSI no problem. Basically, as I've been saying on the board the whole time you can run as much boost on the stock turbo that you want until you hit fuel cut.Make sure you have good fuel....If you want to be safe go to the dyno and hook up a wideband BEFORE the cat.

sp5368 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I would not go over 10 psi without a ecu upgrade with that turbo with in upgrade maybe 12/13 psi max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 14 psi on stock fuel, it certainly would not last long at all, if it even lived to tell about it.I don't know where their boost cut is... It might be 10 psi, but he definitely does not want to go high in boost level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well I know my car can hit 14psi... fuelcut I do believe is probably 15 psi liek the normal models... But just because it can hit it doesnt mean it should on stock fueling.listen to ericf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 You can make it your self, as someone said for nothing but if you do buy it, it's not a bad valveThink about, that statement, This poster doesn't even know how to use the device why do you think he would be able to make it.I think you can run 14 PSI no problem.Either stop posting this kind of nonsense, or explain why a stock ECU program with a LPT set up could handle the increased pressure.
