Dave, Thanks for the help as that helped tremendously! I was able to set it with the values you gave me and finally be able to achieve boost for a change. The values for boost by gear were at the standard setting as well, with alternating -99% and 64%. Are you able to explain the boost by gear option as well? I know there is more load on the engine when in 3rd and 4th gear, so the engine will achieve higher boost in those gears and with the log it seems like 1st and 2nd gear does not allow for boost at the same RPM levels as the higher gears. I would like to at some time be able to use this feature to have everything be consistent when driving the car. I looked at the log and it gave me some good data, but the turbo was not entering boost until a lot higher RPM for whatever reason. I increased the DC numbers down low and declined after I saw a consistent boost level on the log, which was in the higher RPMs. I will only be trying to make it up to 17psi though, since I know it was tuned at 18psi and the engine can handle it with ease, I just want to be safe with the engine. It's not going racing or anything like that, more of a regular driver with a lot of fun driving it. Are you able so show me what a DC table looks like so I can get an idea of how much the decrease would be to stabilize boost? This would help so I know what it would look like since it seems a little weird to have a bunch of high values and then lower values later. I understand the theory, would just like an example so when I do my own, I know my values aren't ridiculous.

I will have to check my setup again to see if I have it wired like that, but thank you for the schematic of how it is supposed to be hooked up since I know there are multiple ways. Another question I have is what if I do not have the port on the turbo like shown and I am using the intake manifold as a pressure source instead? Is there a different way to hook it up or will it still work like this one? Lastly, what are the typical numbers that you would put in the table to get the boost where you want it? I want to set it to 18psi as that is what the car was tuned for when I had the manual boost controller on it, although I bought the new electronic boost controller after it. Thanks for any help too.

Still need some help figuring everything out with this. What are the values for the rpm, time (whatever its called), as well as the other values in the settings before you get to the duty cycle table? Once you get to the duty cycle what values would be acceptable to input? What was is there to setup the fittings so that you get the most consistent boost values or get the system to work the best? Is there a diagram or some place that I can find the correct way to hook it up, because I have seen multiple setups for routing the boost lines

Yes, the t-piece is definitely big enough. I believe it is a 1/4" one because the small one I had on the Manual Boost controller split, so I got a brass one to do the job instead. As for the boost, just adjust the values in the table all the way around, or should it be in increments of some kind?

I need help with the setting of the table in the boost control tab. I am running the MAC valve as specified for applications with single wastegate and the engine is a 3sgte in an MR2. First I want to make sure that I have the solenoid hooked up properly. I have the top port of the wastegate going into port #2 on the solenoid, with port #1 going to the left side of the t-fitting, bottom port of the t-fitting going to the bottom of the wastegate, and the right side of the t-fitting going to the intake manifold.The #3 port on the solenoid is the vent. If this is not correctly, can someone tell me how else to hook it up? I am trying to set up the open loop boost control, and that is what I will be dealing with exclusively at this point. I am trying to set the ems to 17psi as that is what the car was tuned to when I got it professionally tuned with all of the same components on the car right now. The solenoid was not in place yet and I had a manual boost controller at the time. I bought a solenoid after and hooked it up using the stock boost control wires as specified by my mechanic since they are still active, but now just need the figures which will set the boost to my desired pressure. Help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well first off, I want to apologize for this post being so long, since I know it will be before I even right it. If desired you can just email me instead at [email protected] if that would make it easier. I have a Toyota MR2 Turbo (3SGTE) with a V44. The car was tuned by John Reed from John Reed Racing, but need to add a couple things which wouldn't make sense to drive 1000 miles one way to have him do.I have included all of the things I want to add at this point and would love to get it done this weekend or next at the very latest. First, I want to install the boost control solenoid that is specified to be used with the unit. I was told by my mechanic that in my car I just cut the stock boost controller wiring harness and wire this new solenoid in to have the unit control it. The two things that I need to know is how to route the wastegate plumbing and how to change the setting in the map to control the boost. I have seen different ways to route the plumbing, but don't know which one is right for this application. I do not have the fitting on the outlet of the turbo, and have the fitting actually on the intake manifold instead, that is where the manual boost controller was setup on my car when I bought it. The second thing, is that I want to hook up a MSD Digital 6 Plus unit and want to know if there is anything special that I need to do since I will be using the 8207 SS Blaster coil and 8910 tach adapter. I have the diagram to hook up the wiring, but don't know if I need to change settings for the change in ignition. Third, I am having a slight problem with the idle in the car. I checked everything from hoses to wires and everything in between so I don't know if it is a problem that is being sent from the unit or whatnot. I am also having a problem with the ECU light being on still. I did not have that problem before I switched the EMS over either. I get the error of AN value or volt (whichever it is) 4 and 5 in the map. I also get the car cutting off of me when the engine is warm and its a fairly hot day, where the idle drops too low when going around a corner once I put it in neutral. I have no idea what that is from though nor how to fix that either. And lastly, I wanted to get my engine lid fan working again since it was hooked up before I had this ems and now its not since the tuner forgot about it. I want to set it up for coming on after a certain mph and turn out when its goes below that. I don't know which input that would be nor how to enable this feature. I like to have this working since I will be driving to AZ from Southern California in a month and want to reduce engine bay temps, which might help with that idle and cut off problem as well. All of these things are put in order of importance as well, but the boost control and MSD are the most important at this point. Again sorry for the long post and if you want to email that is fine too, but any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!!! -Andreas

Need the same thing done for me as well. Thanks in advance.
