There are two types of boost controllers; mechanical and electronic. Mechanical (or manual) boost controllers offer up to two boost settings set by the driver and controlled via a switch. They are easy to fit, simple in operation and require little maintenance. Electronic boost controllers are a far more sophisticated solution offering a host of boost settings mapped against different triggers like gear change, time, rpm or a manual switch.

Mechanical boost gauges and electric boost, EGT and transmission temperature gauges. Featuring a black face with silver bezel and bright backlighting, these gauges are the perfect accompaniment to any interior.
Fuel Cut Defenders
Most late model cars have in-built defence mechanisms to guard against increases in boost pressure. Such systems are important, but can be an obstacle when increasing boost pressure and the performance of your turbocharged engine. Turbosmart FCDs provide a reliable and accurate increase in the factory fuel cut-out level. A Turbosmart FCD will allow boost pressure to be increased above the factory level and prevent momentary shutdown of the fuel injectors - hence maximising the factory turbo system.
Installation of a manual boost controller depends on the type and configuration of your turbo system. Below are the three most common ways of installing a Turbosmart Manual (Gated) Boost Controller.
INTERNAL WASTEGATE SETUP
• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller • Locate the pressure source port and the wastegate actuator port on the turbocharger assembly • Remove the factory boost control solenoid if fitted from the boost pressure supply port while leaving the solenoid connected to the ECU • Install your boost controller in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuator • If your wastegate actuator has additional ports, these will need to be blocked • Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps • Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws • Make sure the boost dial is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.
EXTERNAL WASTEGATE SETUP
• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller • Locate the bottom port on the external wastegate and the pressure source port • Install the Boost Tee in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the bottom port on the wastegate • Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps • Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws • Make sure the boost dial is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.

PARALLEL TWIN TURBO SETUP
• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller • Locate the wastegate actuator ports on both turbochargers and a pressure source port • Remove the factory boost control solenoid if fitted from the boost pressure supply line • Install your boost controller in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuators. • Be sure to keep the hoses joining the wastegate actuators at equal lengths • Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps • Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws • Make sure the boost dial is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.
