the motors are very strong and can take up to 20psi on stock internals. John f – The turbo motors in the eclipses is the same motor in the lancer turbos and galant vr4. But, lets say, after 7k$ in work after that incident, my car never worked the same so I sold it. I saved a few hundred by doing it myself. Yes, you will spend probably from 200-500$ for a good one. Get an electronic boost controller, not only do they work faster by keeping the valve between the turbo and wastegate completely closed untill desired boost is reached, they are more reliable. IMHO… dont be cheap when it comes to boost controllers, invest in something good. I had melted 2 pistons, and blew the head gasket. In 4th gear about 110mph I passed my friend in his muffstain GT 5.0, and bam! I hit a boost spike, and oil was all over the place and my engine was smoking like a chimeny. But, back to the story… I was racing, and I had used a cheap valve from home depot, and under the pressure the valve closed completely. So, this isnt really new, or hack or whatever. Here is my personal experience… I built one like this 5 years ago. If you do this, get a ball and spring valve, that will help eleminate boost creep, which gives you faster boost response. I used to own a mr2 turbo that I raced for a couple of years. I dont know a whole lot about hacking, but I do know a lot about cars, and turbos. Posted in Transportation Hacks Post navigation DSMtuners has quite a few articles on how to build these devices and should work on almost all turbo cars. A little bit of bleed goes a long way and there is no way to tell where you are at without a proper gauge. They’re really cheap to build, but the most important expense in this project is to getting accurate boost gauge. This tricks the waste gate into staying closed longer than usual so a higher level of boost is reached.

The controller bleeds off some of the pressure in the line so that the pressure measured at the waste gate is lower than actual. Factory boost settings a usually very conservative (otherwise, they’d be doing a lot of repairs) so there is a lot of potential for improvement.Ī manual boost controller is placed in the path of the waste-gate’s sensor. Engines can’t handle extreme pressures so once the intake pressure reaches a factory set point a “waste-gate” opens to let the exhaust gas bypass the drive impeller so the turbo won’t produce any more boost. The engine exhaust drives an impeller in the turbo which drives the compress wheel in the intake path.

A turbo-charger improves the performance of an engine by cramming as much air and fuel into the engine as possible. Once you complete this you’re just going to want/need to modify something else in the system. Building a boost controller is a “slippery slope” sort of mod.
