Why a boost controller by the way? EcuTeK can regulate your boost?

I suggest removing that dump pipe and ensuring it is clearing the wastegate properly and be done with it. It will come to haunt you down the line if its not addressed now.

Your spending good money, dont waste it where it's not required.

He's probably suggesting a 3-port MAC Valve.

Absolute bollocks that it can't control boost.

Boost control is prolly the hardest thing to achieve i think.

Firstly how it works is that you set a boost target, then alter the wastegate duty cycles until your boost target is reached. This takes time to do as you need to fiddle with it a bit, some of the ecutek maps are pretty generic and thus suffer in this arena.. If you invest the time.. you get the result.. simple as that.

All good now, it was just a T piece that had split so the boost was all over the place.

It was overboosting so I got EcuTek which seemed to solve the problem but on the freeway yesterday I put my foot down in 5th at about 4000rpm and the engine cut again after it hadn't done it since I put the Tek in.
On top of that I blew a hose of the Turbo last night as well, not a happy boy. Easy to fix but scared the shit out of me!
Anyone got any ideas on what to do next? Has anyone else had these problems?

I had a 3" tbe fitted by Speedworks no problems with spiking or engine cutting out or lights coming on at all
