Boost Controller and Blow off Valve

[delorian]

I want to put in a Greddy boost controller and HKS SSBOV, but I need to know if there are any fuel/air settings I need to play with before I can safely push more psi out of my turbo. This is my first turbo car, anyone already put either of those/both of those in their cars care to give me a little more info?

I'm suprised RX-KEVIN hasn't replied to this post, but I have the HKS SSQBOV. Get new turbo piping for the t-flange it will come with (that plastic has gotta go!). Don't try to do some kind of adapter to try and fit the stock plastic piping, pointless. As of PSI settings I'm ok at 9. You'll pretty much be making a lot of adjustments to the HKS BOV when you first get it though (I did mine during dyno test, is pain in a$$). You'll definitely like the results. Boost controller is nice but it's virtually pointless until you get a bigger intercooler and better downpipe, cat, and exhaust (plugging spool-turbo.com here). Fuel/air settings? I'll talk to my mechanic when I get a chance, he has all that info documented somewhere. OR RX-KEVIN can show up out of nowhere and give that answer.

The SSQ should work without any adjustment's of the valve. You can just tighten the valve so the blast is shorter or longer depending on boost or driving situation. as far as boost and a boost controoler is concerned, I went with a MBC and am pleased with the performance that 9psi provides.

i'm at 10. there was a post by terry that said at 10 PSI these run 10.9.1 on a wideband (WHICH IS STILL RICH).
