Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 9m Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 27/11/08 07:47 AM Share Posted 27/11/08 07:47 AM Just wanted to work out. Can Boost levels be controlled by an edit... (ie. can it be set to 16psi using a capa flash???)I assumed this is how it was done, as I have two tunes on my box, 13psi and 16psi... So it MUST be controllable by an edit???I thought this was how it was done, but someone who was working on my car today thought you had to control it manually... ie. a boost switch.Can someone please clarify???Worm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52045-boost-control-how-ecu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically doesn't allow enough fuel for higher boost..???

You cant use a manual boost control... and it must be done through the ECU... :-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52045-boost-control-how-ecu/#findComment-776446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously ecu tuning is required but he says it works great and at $100 for the manual control that cheap.

BFHOON Donating Members 1,932 Member For: 19y 30d Gender: Male Location: nsw Posted 02/12/08 06:18 AM Share Posted 02/12/08 06:18 AM (edited) I have run a manual boost controller/bleed valve, $50 from supercrap. must be used with the edit.I used mine to pull back the power on a 100% everything max generic tune.worm if you get a bleed valve you will be able to reduce your boost level without reflashing, mabee even find a happy point between wheelspin and back in seat power.
