Newbie needed help.....
 

Hi guys.... im new with turbo... very new to be exact... i learn as i go... anyway i have a tercel 1.5 sohc 3ee engine...got it for free.. so i decided to turbo charge it for fun.... i picked the 14b... and i blew my motor :-\... 9 psi is way too much for my tiny engine.. so now i was thinking about 4 daily and 6 when needed.... well how can i lower the boost on the 14b... i heard you can put washer in the actuator... im not exactly sure how to do that.. or you can also bleed the line or something along the way... well is there any method we can bring down the boost ... the lower the better.

you could get a cheap as boost controler :-\

Re:Newbie needed help.....
 

I don't think you can lower boost with a boost controller,

Re:Newbie needed help.....
 

i forget the part where he said he wanted to lower the boost :P

Re:Newbie needed help.....
 

Put washers inbetween the actuator and the turbo, which would(depending on the turbo)bring the actuator closer to the turbo slightly opening the wastegate, lowering boost. You cannot bleed air out of the line because that will raise boost.

cut the actuator arm and lengthen it, it will work too

Re:Newbie needed help.....
 

yeah i heard that work.. the longer the actuator being cut the lower the boost will be... the thing is to be honest.. i dont know which one is the actuator arm..... im not very good with turbo.. obviously i blew my first motor in 2 weeks
