So basically I need a new car after owning my loyal glanza for 4 years but now it's a bit of a shed and on it's last legs these days, would upping it to 0.8psi with everything else standard blow my old faithful friend up?

a manual boost controller will work mate or do what i did and put 2 washers on the actuator bracket.. mine is running .75 this way.. do not exceed .80

where the actuator bracket joins the turbo housing (left).. there 2 bolts.. i put one washer for each bolt between bracket and turbo housing.. all this does is it puts more pressure on the actuator spring therefore keeping the wastegate closed for longer (more boost)...


poors mans boost solution.. lol

Sounds simple, so don't you need to torque the bolts up or something or can the be nipped up? What size washers? Sorry for all the questions

dont really know the size mate.. start small and go for a spin and check the boost an just add more washers if needs be.. ill put up a picture if you like but will take a few mins??

Ok, yea that would be a huge help if you can as I will be a bit paranoid to weather iv took off the right bolts lol

red arrow in picture points to where the washers are placed between actuator bracket and turbo housing.. work from underneath the car mate.. its much easier.. just remove mud gaurds for easy fitting..

not a thing no.. just keep an eye on your boost gauge... its a very simple solution and costs nothing.. :beer:

leave off the mud gaurds when taking it for a spin just incase you need 2 add more spacers :)

Ok will do, do you have an FCD or don't you need one as it's below 8?

wont need one if its below 0.8 mate, fuel cut is around 0.82 or something :) keep it below fuel cut and you should be fine :) dont even fit the fcd unless ur getting ur fpr set up or fueling adjusted, just keeps it safe incase u overboost.

Ok good, my boost Hague isn't connected up would I still be able to so the washer thing on the actuator without connecting it up?
