BP turbo build/advice

Yours should be. The OLED version of the Profec is only specific with warning and start boost. The boost , set and gain functions are all percentages. For example 9psi is 24% with a 7lb spring. And all that isn't even bring up the scramble function. But once low boost is set it's easy to make adjustments for high boost by starting with the low settings and working up. The pain in the butt is setting gain to prevent drop-off.

That's why I pay my tuner. I just hooked it up.

jwick · 05-13-2017, 06:50 PM

As I recall during him setting it up all the settings were percentage of WG spring up to 100%

You must be from up north. Us southern guys put the cars away for summer when the weather gets above 90ish.

Warning and Start boost are PSI specific. Limiter, Set boost and Gain settings are all percentage. My tuner looked at the OLED Profec like it was a piece of Alien Technology.

The belief is the slnoid is bad on the bc; going to switch to a different unit at some point. I am just gonna enjoy the car on the 16 psi spring for now. Now I just have to wait for my intake mani and will slap it on. After that a tune for aam!!

They told me my solenoid was probably bad too because it kept spiking on the dyno but it turned out that it was the hole in the vaccum line for the upper passenger side wastegate. Even after it took a poop the hole was still tiny but still enough that it prevented the wastegate on that side from doing it's job.

Pressure will always follow the path of least resistance. Hole open to atmosphere is going to be that path.

That is what i think it is, I went right to the waste-gate spring and it work's fine, I still need to get it tested out to see if it is or not.

So on the aam mani they have some free vacuum ports. What do you guys think about hooking up the bov to it? It is right behind the throttle body. I do know it has to be shorter than 48 inch it will close on the length but should make it.

If you do , order some heat sleeve for all the lines that run near hot areas.

hc_416 · 05-18-2017, 11:17 PM

so it look like I will be getting my Intake mani in the A.M.! Sasha also said that I could use the port behind the throttle body so no drilling either!!

hc_416 · 05-20-2017, 09:40 PM

aam intake came in one day!! well I put it on but my afr's are out of wack. So I have to wait for my re-tune and go from there. Getting close!!
