Im new to this and need advice

[Bumble-bee]

Scratch that it's sit nice at 5.3 until it's going some but I've never travelled that far whilst not looking at the road :') now I've set that it's come up with SE7 in the top right and has 5.3 psi blinking, what do I put in here? Is this the same thing or just the next step - max boost

[2mad]

SE7 means set your most stable boost setting if 5.3 was it hit enter .. remember its stable boost not creep or spiking like we talked about .. you do need to do the run looking at the boost gauge , scary stuff i know.


Ps. 5.3 sounds good to me

[Bumble-bee]

What about this percentage that appear afterward? I've left that at 100%?

[Bumble-bee]

And before it used to go in the minus' when I was idling and now it's just staying at 0.0psi

[2mad]

I just reread got it wrong hopefuly it will still work se7 was ware you needed to put 10psi never mind should still work .. leave it at 100% then you can set your boost setting .. 10 or 11psi for now on a. low boost

[2mad]

And before it used to go in the minus' when I was idling and now it's just staying at 0.0psi

Thats odd should idle minus 25 or so iirr in psi

[Bumble-bee]

It was fine before but now it won't idle right :/ something's not working lol - any other setting you may have changed?

I'd Google mr2 turbo head gasket removal you will find a few videos and a link to when Jim did his head gasket. You will need new head bolts and all sorts so make sure you have it all before you start. Once you have your car running on decent boost enjoy it for a bit get the summer out of the way and do any work in the winter when it's less fun to drive an mr2.

Got this on my st205 exactly how i've described should make no difference .. resetting the ecu is always a good idea when you change something .. boost control makes no difference to idle .. and i feel awful now

[Bumble-bee]

Now it's reading 0.0 all the time but it was fine once I left work it's just as I got in, I think something may have come loose, any ideas what and where though? The harnesses are fine and it still has power

[2mad]

Do a reset again ..


1 . PSI
2. S
3, 5.3
4, 10psi
5, leave at 100%


Done just need to set a. low boost setting

Vacuum line .. maybe to the hks solenoid .. doing a full throttle pull may have popped it off .. had this happen many times

[Bumble-bee]

Yeah found the xxxxx!! It split old and brittle thing :') im going to chop the split bit off and then plug it back in and cable tie it back on!! Thanks man I've never felt this run any better!! The person before me defiantly messed this gauge up :')

What's a safe a and b setting in psi? To put it on

[2mad]

God i'm so relieved .. 10/11psi for now mate on a. low we can setup high when you buy the mods we spoke of .


So happy its working

[Bumble-bee]

And what shall I put b to? Or just leave that and keep using A for now? I'll put it to 10 to be safe

So I am I so relieved! Bloody hose! Pod filter is going on tonight as well and exhaust later this month but intercooler may have to wait a while

[2mad]

And what shall I put b to? Or just leave that and keep using A for now? I'll put it to 10 to be safe

Just stick to a. for now 10/11psi is fine , nice a safe .. turn it up when you've bought the mods .. enjoy mate

The best thing I did to my old 2 was to get rid of the electronic boost controller. They are a ticking time bomb waiting to damage your engine. Get rid and do it properly with an aftermarket ECU, mapped correctly.

[Bumble-bee]

Thanks Kev!

I shall probably be messaging in the near future when I get stuck :')

Thanks for all your help!
