for me, these problems have only recently come to light, on the ct9 it'd hold 1.2 bar no problem, before mapping on the td04 it'd hold 11 psi without issue. it's only now i appear to be having boost spikes.
any one having boost control issues using hdi boost controler

ic. yeah but most on here where saying how good they are when they only tried it once. i also heard of another problem that there is a point when you turn the knob that will increase a good amount of boost instead of the little amount other points give
this thing is seriously pissing me off.
this morning perfect! counldnt fault it.
the drive home. nothing has changed, car has just been stood not even came within 20 meters of the car, engine or bloody ebc. so thing should still be the same right. if only........
now its holding a steady 9psi, not what it was set at yesterday. its got a fucking mind of its own.
anyone know what the button saying push on top of the soloniod is for?

maybe u all can try contact the seller(s)/site--just in case this is something that they may have dealt with in the past for which there is a solution
have u all tried cleaning the solenoid?....yeah, they are newish unit for some of you, but seems to be a solenoid problem....maybe the solenoid is acting up prematurely
apart from that, i guess the control unit itself may be at fault....but again, its hard to imagine such newish units would behave this way
hopefully you all find the answers

I have emailed HDI to get some feedback from them aswell, there seems to be a handfull of people who are having problems whilst others arn't.
I will see what feedback they can provide but the solinoids are tested and have to pass Sales Quality checks otherwise they will not be sent out in the packages.
I personally am no good at electronics and wont deny that fact, which is why i have asked HDI to see what they can say. Whatever info they relay to me i will post up and see if that might help ?

the main problem i seem to be having at the moment the boost is set to 1.2 bar and holds ok. then the next time i boost it'd go to 1.4 bar without touching the dial. so i turn the dial down. and the next time i boost it only goes to 1 bar, so i have to tweak it back up. the process then repeats.
mine is exact same as dubs.
boost is different every time i get in the car, some times stupid high, sometime very low
and it appears the brief over boosting has done some serious damage to my car. not happy at all as you can imagine, its smoking like a bitch on idle and low revs, so either turbo or engine damage. there was no problem at all before fitting this ebc, not even a puff of smoke
hopefully its only killled my turbo off and not the engine.
not impressed

well ive changed all breathers but that didnt do a thing so its something more serious. its not really using oil or coolent despite the mass of smoke.
obviously im praying its turbo (seeing as i work for midland turbo)
there feels to be slight play and it feels a little stiff so possibly is the cause. but ive not had a chance to whip it off yet. i have new turbo ready to go on anyway.
i just fear it may be something worse so will be doing a compression test when i can.

Bad news mate, hope its only the turbo. Anytime you wanna do the comp test just let me know. Also if the worst has happened you know where I am re valve stem seals and any work that may be required if its something you cant manage yourself.

cheers mate.
to be honest i cant see that kinda boost killing my turbo, obvioulsly i know ive built it well and would have thought it could cope with a breif overboost. could be wrong though and i hope i am as it would be the easiest thing to sort.
all breather have been checked and fine, ive ran a fuel tank of fuel and fuel sytem cleaner through, reset ecu and stuff but no luck.
on a possitive note i still have good suction from oil cap and there is no oil in the catch tank so there is signs of life yet. will see what the compression tesy pulls up!
but there is a hell of a lot of thick blueish smoke
if it is internal engine damage (valve stems ect) is that something you can sort for me mike?
