Where to Boost Controller?

[bjs2oo7]

I have a cheap ebay boost controller that I used on my 740turbo gasser that worked great, which hose do I split and install it on my stock d24t turbo? The larger hose?

[IceV_760]

If its original d24t, cut the hose going to LDA-controller on fuelpump,
and take pressure-info there, it comes to that hose from intake manifold.

do you mean that's where I hook up boost gauge?

[bjs2oo7]

There is two hoses that go to boost actuator which one can I regulate, the larger one is what I am thinking because the smaller one goes from the compressor inlet before turbine to actuator. I want to get it on there before i put manifold back on. Any help is much appreiated

Yes install it to in the hose that comes from the compressor housing. The hose that goes to the bottom of the inlet is a oil drain or something stupid. I would install a boost gauge too. I wouldn't push too much more than 15lbs without doing some work.

Have steel head gasket and boost gauge, I haven't figured out a good way to pipe the intercooler I got from 740turbo,(smaller rad?), How much boost should I run?

[IceV_760]

Oh, just now i realised started were asking where
to boost CONTROL, not where to assemble boost gauge,
my fault sorry.

[Jason]

i wouldn't use the stock inter cooler they burst easily and won't hold much boost. with that steel Gasket you can probably push as much as your fueling needs. i wouldn't bother with much over 15 with the stock turbo and no cooler, with cooler and stock turbo 25 is max but 20 would be more realistic.

What, 25psi's is just sucide with normal turbo, even 20psi are.
They tested t03 with exhaust pressure meter and boost meter+EGT meter,
after 17psi that original turbo loses it pros and just turns to heatmachine,
which will load head extremely hard with high EGT's.
Im going to 21psi with my VNT, and youre running 25psi with t03,
nonono.
