88 turbo coupe auto......so i am thinking of ditching the aftermarket ebay boost controller i have been using for some time. i dont like its vacuum leak and the way it makes my car idle.
i looked at an illustration of a 87 merkur xr4ti, and it had the factory boost contoller hooked up to the air inlet and turbo outlet. but not to the wastegate, is this right? is there any better way to hook up the factory setup than what was stock for my car? i only ever got about 6 lbs of boost stock, but could get up to 16 with the aftermarket one. i would be happy in the middle
when my car was stock, I bypassed all of the vacuum lines coming off of the turbo and removed the factory boost solenoid. ran around 10psi but mine was also a 5 speed.
i take that back the merkur shows it not going to the wastegate, but i ran mine from turbo outlet and from wastegate. it gets up to about 15psi now
