New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Right... whilst waiting for my perfect R5 GTT to arrive in my life, I picked up a local Punto GT3 going cheap locally, as I was carless! This is my first ever turbo car, and I'm a complete n00b at them. When I posted up pictures on Puntosports, I was told that the majority of owners than my boost controller isn't set up correctly...
Now most people said that I shouldn't be using the bleed valve at all, and to just plug in the actuator and turbo pipes directly into the controller. Have done this and the car feels slower and a bit lumpy if I'm honest. I was told to unwind the controller at first then gradually to increase it until I found 14-16 PSI (iirc). I did this but it made absolute no difference to performance?
My aftermarket gauge only ever goes up to around 3-4 PSI, and the one on the dash only goes up about 1/4 of the way. I posted all this up on Corsasport too as I find them very helpful, but again, the people are there are conflicting with each other, some saying I should have the bleed valve and some that I shoudn't!
Then I remembered a place with a lot of turbo owners hope you can help...
