Gauges for Turbo, boost controller options? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My actuator was supposed to be a 10psi but it started moving at 8 when tested on the bench. After a couple of days it dropped from 8 to 6psi...

But aside from that and to give an example, a 5 PSI actuator will have more trouble holding 9 psi steady than an 8 psi actuator.

I will most likely be running the 7psi actuator from AVO.

Oh yes, I remember. I think it may be time to start exploring returning that spring and getting a new 10 psi spring.

As a rule of thumb, should be good up to 14. I would say it should be good to 12 conservatively.

I have to change the complete actuator... Since its the 10psi model, i would need to try the 15psi one. But im waiting on my injectors and fuel pump then i might buy an EBC if its more precise

What gauges would be needed when i go turbo, besides a boost gauge?

Silverdub · 05-11-2013, 10:15 AM

Wideband could be usefull and if you have room and budget egt and oil temp

Egt is a very very useful gauge that most people do not use

I like the AEM Boost/Wideband combo for Gauge side

Boost Control and fail safe should be done via ECU!

Did you AVO kit from with a MAP Sensor?

I agree with John.

As far as what i am getting, its the avo stage 1 kit, with upgraded actuator, Breather tank kit with upgraded PCV, and 3-Bar Map Sensor, adjustable BOV, & stage 2 base tune.

I think that is what you were asking?

He was asking for the 3 BAR Map sensor because that allows ECU Overboosting protection and probably also needed for ECU boost control.
