kunwar.xbox New Member 6 Member For: 9y 4m 2d Posted 26/07/15 02:07 PM Share Posted 26/07/15 02:07 PM (edited) Hi guysI've recently installed boost gauge, oil temp gauge and a turbo smart manual boost tee controller in my fg xr6 turbo. But as soon as I turn the boost up even a tiny bit, the ecu puts up the engine light and turns the boost from 12 psi to about 8, is that normal?

The B series ecu's can be a little sensitive to change. And you've sort of gone the wrong way about trying to achieve your goal there. As stated, you need an xcal and a tune from someone that knows what they are doing.Btw, a warm welcome to the forum mate : ) Edited 27/07/15 11:41 AM by FiftyOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep youse updated thanks.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best off saving a little and getting tune and injectors with the xcal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunwar.xbox New Member 6 Member For: 9y 4m 2d Posted 28/07/15 07:22 AM Author Share Posted 28/07/15 07:22 AM Yeah I am thinking about removing the boost controller and might get an xcal 4 and do it myself... yeah 1500 from monster torque which would probs be safe aswellSent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
