Slowxr6t Member 577 Member For: 6y 4m 27d Location: New zealand Posted 16/01/19 10:41 AM Share Posted 16/01/19 10:41 AM So puff, on the xr6t do you need a bleed valve to run more boost than the actuator? Or can the tuner alter boost through the ecu? How does it work?

It's old technology & these aren't hack skylines from the 90's. The factory computer doesn't like to be fooled, get it tuned properly. The falcon computer regulates boost via the wastegate with a solenoid in a closed loop system. The only way to do it safely is to tune it.

Expand There are things you can do with a bleed valve that will work perfectly fine (that mostly still involve tuning) but for the most part you will just want to tune it properly.

Expand It uses open and closed loop fyi, not that it's a major omission. On 16/01/2019 at 10:41 AM, Slowxr6t said: How does it work?

Doing things properly and safely is best practice. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94411-boost-controller-with-tune/page/2/#findComment-1670766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
