Need help with AVC-R

[rakkasan]

I've just installed an AVC-R, and everything checks out during the sensory check. It displays the boost pressure correctly, but I can't adjust the boost. I can set it for .20 bar, but it continues to hit .60, no matter what it's set for.

Everything appears to be routed correctly, what am I missing?

.2 bar is 3psi. You are hitting .6 bar because 8 psi is as low as your wastegate will allow. You can go up from there, but not down.

Thanks, That makes perfect sense.

I've already admitted that, so bite me. :biglaugh:

by the way...you realize you have the most complicated boost controller on the market... and by just setting the boost higher you arent doing too much...you need to adjust the duty to make the boost go up properly among many other things to take full advantage of the unit

Yeah, I'm learning as I go. It might be the most complicated, but it sure was cheap. :icon_cool You'll have to give me some pointers later.

.20 bar?? A little conservative are we?

I turned it down that low for testing. I usually run 12-15 psi

I also shimmed the wastegate so that I was at 70% duty cycle. I think there is one tiny mention in the manual about it liking 70%. It seems easier to adjust if it is near that range.
