11310, Installed boost controller Posted by Mattcky2k, Apr-12-04 12:15 PM
Ok i just put on my Hallman Pro boost controller and it works great. i have it tuned to a perfect 15psi! anyway the hallman instructions said to put the boost source line to the nipple on the turbo but the VFAQ tapped into the vaccum line on the BOV to throttle body. which one would be better if any? it seems to be working great but i was just wondering if there was any advantage/disadvantage to either location. And one more question...all my mods are in my sig and i was just wondering what you guys think i should get next? i'm thinking a cat-back. i've got an 02meter on the way from zeitronix also. and what are the necessities to have before i go for the Evo3 turbo upgrade? i'll say i'll need a fuel pump, probably get the 255 walbro, and some kind of fuel control like an AFC and EGT gauge but is there anything else that i would absolutly need before that? sorry so long thanks guys

i love my catback, but a lot of guys swear by turbobacks, so you may want to wait. As for the 16g prep, i've asked 1092837409723 times here on this board, and i'm gonna get slapped if I ask again, but the best way to do it (and cheapest) is to just get everything for the 16g at once and put it all on at once.
Try a 14b if you really wanna go piecemeal, i hear they are awesome turbos, and i'm thinking about going this route to afford an fmic right off the bat instead of side mounting at 16g for a coupal months

yup, do it all at once. get all this stuff: turbo 2G install kit o2 housing FP(I went with a Walbro 190 and have plenty of fuel for a 16G) 550's (same as FP) S-AFC to tune EGT for insurance ;) Then plan on a whole day to swap it. It's not as hard as you think. Just take your time and go slow.

Quoted for great Justice!
Having seen alot of DSM's go and break (mine very much included), I have learned this one universal truth.
Do it right, and do it once.

it shouldnt suck, it should be cool, cuz you know you will be faster after the fact.

It was WELL worth the wait IMO. I'm not done yet either. I have a brand ne FMIC and piping now residing in the spot where my turbo and other stuff used to live. I'm waiting on the J-pipe. The guy forgot I was running a 16G...
