Hi

Anyone tried fitting a kit from http://www.boostvalve.com to stop overboost im getting severe hesiation bordering on stalling at full throttle when the car is at about 20 psi

Cheers

Looks interesting, I'd be interested as I'm getting overboost. Don't fancy getting a Groupbuy going do you?

Cheers, Jim

Just bought on for my AGU running a ko3 sport...... i'll let you know what i think of it when i get chance to fit it.

I think RD20v had one for sale in the classifieds a while back - might be worth a pm?

That looks like a right mess, all those pipes everywhere[:O]. I thought it was just one valve you had to fit.

I believe that there are a couple of ways that you can connect it depending on what you're trying to do. Have a search on Vortex for "boostvalve", both the current stuff and the archives, that should throw up lots of topics. Vortexers have been going on about this little thing for ages.

I cant stand vortex i find the attitude of the posters to be rude and not very helpful sometimes. I think 49 dollars is money well spent if it will slove my problems.

 

[malta18t]

there is all the info on www.boostvalve.com and there are very simple diagrams, no pics of it sorry

 

[Bazrazmataz]

What are the advantages to say adjusting the actuator manually to lower the boost and reduce overboosting ??

 

[aidan]

you mention $49 above, you don't have to order from the US i.e this one :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32094&item=7938017219&rd=1

see thread http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=28516&SearchTerms=,overboost,

 

[Bazrazmataz]

Damm that ebay one is just up the road but ive already ordered from america noq

 

[malta18t]

do not touch your actuator !!!!! why asking for trouble , just buy that boostvalve

 

[Bazrazmataz]

I wont touch it the garage will ! why shouldnt the actuator be altered ??

 

[Mo]

may be worthwhile sticking your original N75 back on too.

Yes, very true about their attitudes and the way they interact with one another. However, I've found a wealth of technical information on there which has been very useful at times. In this case, I would seriously recommend doing a little reading up before you mess with the Boostvalve, well I would anyway.

 

[Bazrazmataz]

Ill go do some reading up on it ! There is good knowlege base there but so unfriendly if u are not in the know i often feel they make u feel inferior

 

[Bazrazmataz]

Doing a search for boostvalve only brings up a few topics a bit disappointing
