ATP Boost Cut Defender Q's

[bacarl]

Has ATP got a site..? How do I pick one of these up? (I already have a Turbosmart MBC)

 

[wannabe]

you can buy from Ken at ProtegeGarage

or from Dino http://www.speedcircuit.net/product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=188

 

[whooosh]

turn the key to the on position and hold the dsc button (you should see the dsc light go off then back on). while holding the button start the car, wait about a second and let go.

you should see the 'dcs off' light and traction-loss graphic/light stay lit at the same time.

there ya go. have fun spinning tires and going crazy balls fast

I'm going to try this......very interesting

you're in an ms6 or ms3?

does in the ms3's for sure.

there isn't much to show. i have a picture of a boost controller and 2 vacuum lines going to it?

if you bought one and want a tutorial on how to install, call me! it's a bit different than any other traditional turbo car. you've gotta cap off one of the vaccuum ports on the wastegate (the top one), as well as the electronic boost solenoid (the thing the top wastegate port is connected to from factory). then intercept the bottom vaccuum port of the wastegate and that vaccuum line to tie in your manual boost controller.

Ok. I'm ordering the parts today. I will call you next week. boost gauage, Joe P MBC, boost cut killer. Anything else needed?

I was skeptical too, but it does work.

insert the key
turn on
push/hold the dsc
wait for it to blink
release dsc
start car

Both the dsc and traction control lights will be lit when you start. (cheers)

I think that's it, it wouldn't Hurt to get vacuum lines and yours going to need a bigger vacuum t for that boost gauge from the blow off valve vacuum source. A reducer fitting too, to take away needle shaking... Just call me when you're at autozone

ok I'll try again....I want it to work oh yeah
also, I have the ATP boost cut module and a Vodoo III HP MBC that has basically eliminated the boost spike because it has two bleed settings instead of the traditional 1
It has a coarse and fine bleed adjustment
Look up Voodoo MBC on a Google search and look at them, they are priced the same as the one you are going for but have added ajustability
just my .02
thanks

Just ordered with Ken and told him to include all those parts that i would need. brought that accuboost controller rather than Joe P.

let me know how everything works out. I am in the same boat as you and would really like more opinions. Perhaps a write up?

 

[mrlilguy157]

if anyone has any questions call me, jonathan martin...

Is there anyway you can spend 10-15 min and take few pictures with a sentence of two of what they are showing...you know like a lil write up. This way no1 has to call you and bother you lol

Agreed. I will not be doing the work and will print off the thread be ANY additional assistance is helpful!

By holding he DSC button in when the car is started does kick on the traction control light, however it does not disable the torque limiting feature you speak of. Folks who have tried this have "reported" they can "feel" a slight difference (I've tried it also), but it does not give you full boost in 1-2 gears if thats what you mean. Just slightly removes another level of ECU nanny'ing.

can somebody with the CP-E ems log some information for me??

i would like to know, what difference this little DSC trick makes. and i'm almost certain you would visually be able to see a difference in graphs.

edit: that is unless it doesn't actually do anything..thats what i'd like to know, is if it changes anything. or if its in their heads

When I try this they both lights are NOT LIT and then when I try to turn the dsc off I cant until I restart the car.. WTF?

 

[speedi3]

Jesse, That's one way that you know it worked is that you can't change the setting until you turn off the car.

 

[pHeeL tHiZ ViBe]

oh..interesting, i've must have done it wrong. i always hold the button while starting it..i gotta try it again.

So is this actually true?

Yes, many on the MS3 Forums say that it works. I've tried it on my brother's MS3 and it worked. So it does work, but that doesn't have anything to do with the ATP BCD or questions/help regarding it.
