so im thinking somehow the truboost gauge has the boost set to something the car cant handle. how do i use the adjuster in the hood? or what would i need to do to program the boost gage to work correctly?
Stock boost is 14psi. Here is where you can find the pdf to set up your controller to put it back to 14psi. http://www.aemelectronics.com/Images...%2030-4350.pdfOriginally Posted by Sceneiskeen
Ok. i got in the car, and i pushed the left button on the Tru boost gage and held it for a few seconds and it said, OFF. After that the car was driving fine, wasnt doing the stuttering anymore. i even got it to boost up to i want to say 9 or 10 psiso im thinking somehow the truboost gauge has the boost set to something the car cant handle. how do i use the adjuster in the hood? or what would i need to do to program the boost gage to work correctly?
i hit the left button on the gage til it said OFF. and the car boosted fine.
Is there anyway you can give me a walkthrough of what buttons to push and what settings to put it at, im sorry im so clueless with this. Like i said, i have no clue about turbo's or anything.
also today driving down the interstate, i pushed the turbo hard to make sure it wasnt going to stutter or anything and i then held the right button and it said HIGH 18.9 , is that how high of boost i hit. If so how is the stock turbo pushing that much psi?

any turbo is capable of boost high a psi level. Its the wastegate that relieves that the pressure and regulates the boost. A boost controller adds a little more tuning to that.
Yesterday i was driving and got into some boost, and blew off either the line or cap that was on my brake booster. I never did find a line. So i capped it off and got my vacume back and my brakes.
Should my break booster be capped off? and if so where in the hell can i buy a cap. i have a ghetto one on there now.

Where in the world would the line have gone? I cant find any line that is disconnnected. I capped the brake booster and got my vaccume back, and got my brakes back.

thanx guys my cusin turned the boost up to 20 psi's on my 05 srt 4 and he tried to tell me i was running a stage 3 but never saw any of the stage three signs and it was chocking out because it was pushing way to much boost so i was gettin the whole PTB deal and it wouldnt spool up past 5 psi's but still ran fine just wouldnt get past that all the same i hope the other guy gets his car running.
