Turbo Finally Installed

[kalligarri]

ok so the turbo is finally installed, but i got 2 problems.
1. i think the alternator went out, the battery wont keep its charge.. slowly keeps dying.. thought it was the battery but it just started happening right now, so im guessing its the alternator.
2. My boost is rising a tad bit too high.. it has a 6 psi spring in there, but ive been reaching 9, 10, 11 psi.. ima need a boost controler. does anyone know where i can buy a good cheep manual boost controler?

other then that.. everything is fine.. boost is fun :thumb:

will have pics in a bit

By the way.. 2003 Honda Civic Ex.

i think your gonna need a softer spring on the wastegate to make the boost controller effective. the spring in the waste gate ultimatly controls the minimum ammount of boost you will run. where are you getting the vacume source from?

i got the vacume source from this tube on the car, its connected to the throtle body, i got the info for that from www.7thgencivic.com that helped me out alot

There is a group buy on nice alternators right now =) on termpro.com

u can get a cheap boost controller anywhere like ebay or make your own. good ones are turboxs and turbosmart but that one is quite expensive.

what kind of wastegate is your set-up using ?

[KyleKeirsey]

the best place to pickup vacuum for wastgate is compressor housing of turbocharger...
