Manual Boost Controller (long) 850

I just finished installing my TurboXs Bleed type controller on Friday (before reading your post). Since it is a bleed type I decided to try and install it after the solenoid and before the wastegate. Does it work......Yes and no. I had to open the bleed valve almost to the stops to get any descent increase in boost but it still seemed to stop about 10lbs constant with spikes to 12psi. I'm not sure why. I was hoping for 12-13psi, but I still definitely noticed the improvement at 10 psi.

I had already decided to bypass the solenoid entirely before I read your post, but it was nice to see your writeup. I will make the change either tonight or tomorrow and see what difference it makes.

I am actually toying with the idea of trying to install a ball and spring set to 10 psi for quicker spoolup, and then the bleed for 12 psi to help limit spiking. We'll see how it goes.
