Roostmonkey Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I just recieved my tial bov and I dont see any adjustment provisions.Most likely doesnt require any adjustments but the Turbo-X unit I'm replacing, did.Does anyone know if this is the case? Ive searched Garrett's site and theres no info.I'll get the flange welded on tomorrow and try it out after work.Its a beautiful piece of work, almost too pretty to put on a motor.

Roostmonkey Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 theres no options for spring changes.At least they dont mention any alternates on their website. I'll run it tomorrow and see what I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zraced... Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Mine has a 8 psi spring and I use my boost controller to bring it up. Works great...Tial 38mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringIt Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Mine has a 8 psi spring and I use my boost controller to bring it up. Works great...Tial 38mm. He said BOV not Wastegate. Tial's BOV is 50mm Ive had success trimming the spring also if its too tight and surges on you. You can take the spring out and trim it down like a mexican does to his honda.

SR240Z Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 yea and if its not tight enough you can put a washer in there to make the spring tighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D83ZXT Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Work of art? Yes, I know. Just like my TiAL wastegate. Shame it's sooo hidden. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zraced... Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Opps sorry guys I saw spring and tial and missed the BOV part. Mine has a 8 psi spring and I use my boost controller to bring it up. Works great...Tial 38mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well, I installed it last night but didnt get the chance to try it out. It was dark when I finished and I'm also in the middle of upgradeing the headlights. Heres a pic to show the install and how sexy it is.

73ZCAR Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey Roostmonkey. Nice piping on that install. Stainless? How did you get the bends? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 thanks Mike...it is stainless and they're mandrel els cut and welded together then polished to appear as one pc. Took it for a spin tonight and its still bleeding air off at 5-6 psi.Its so loud, I was sure it was BOV.Checked all the hose connections from the turbo to the TB and everythings tight.Its got to be the wastegate dumping air.Guess I should have put my money into a better Boost controller.I'm using a Dawes Devices unit and its been pretty good so far.I'll make some adjustments and see if thats been the problem.

Roostmonkey Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 All better now.Not even gonna say what it was.....It holds strong to my 13 psi setting and when I lift, it lets out a nice deep KSSSHHH. I guess next time I'll look closer at the painfully obvious before whipping out the credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
