Setting Turbo Boost with boost foolers

[ChrisCNC]

Thanks for the information guys, that helps.

I know I tend to ramble and get off subject! But I am still unclear if I must have a secondary guage to set the boost range. I'm pretty sure I do, but would like someone to clarify.

CJ45lc I see you have secondary guages, I've only got the information displayed from the Gryphon CTS/Evolution CTS which I assume ultimately comes from the MAP sensor. If the MAP sensor is being fooled then my assumption is I have to have a secondary guage to accurately set the boost range.

RT, I looked hard at the turboMaster. I called and talked to the people there and they told me straight up that it will not work with an ATS Ported Shroud Compressor housing without modifying it (the housing). The ATS guys swear up and down that the ears on the housing are the same as stock, and that the Banks WG actuator will work 100% guaranteed and the T.M. should as well. I told this to the T.M. people and they laughed and said, "... do you think we made that up?" but that they'd be willing to work with me to tell me how to modify it. I do have a nice CNC machine that is quite capable of making sweet modifications...no grinding here!

Great information Cody, I appreciate it. I kinda assumed that accurate boost numbers must not be required, or overly useful. If the MAP sensor were upgraded to give you a bigger voltage range over reliable boost numbers it probably wouldn't change the tunes a great deal...just be more work for you

It's easy to get caught up in the whole mod thing and think you need to change something because it's easy and/or everyone else does it. I know I do! I don't want to leave any performance, "on the table", if it's there for the taking, but don't want to try to squeeze blood out of a grape either.

Thanks again guys!
