is there any way to increas the psi whilst keepin it lookin compltete untocuhed?

im only chasin 12 or 13 max on a 93t
 
plumb a restrictor (say metal) in the vacuum tube to the wastegate, this will decrease flow to the actuator and keep your wastegate closed enough to allow higher boost. you will have to experiment with the size of the hole you drill. this will however be COMPLETELY hidden as you requested and provide the same type of boost control an mbc provides.

cheers
 
never had much luck with the screw type boostcontroller, went with the electric hks avc bc with 3 settings (low - 10psi, high 15psi and manual - adjustable knob)
 
A restrictor of a set size..eg..3mm O.D with say a 1.5mm hole through the middle might for example work and give you the boost you desire..youd have to play around with sizes.
It will also snap the boost on better too.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but you could just use the stock gsr bov. it only can support a max of 12-13 psi.
we're talking boost controllers not bov's.. 2 different things :)

I know what you talking about. but he's asking...

LOL

ya im really lookin for something to up the boost but it not be visible at all. might try this resrictor though

using the stock bov. will keep it looking like factory. yes?

I dunno im just a noob :?
 
lol,
bov and boost controllers are 2 different items.
if u keep your stock blow off valve then yes ur blow off valve would look factory.
but to increase the boost you must alter your boost lines. You do this by installing a boost controller, or restrictors as discussed.
if you are referring to keeping the stock bov to keep it looking standard then yes u would be correct, but to up the boost you would need to play with the boost lines.
 
LOL yes i know they are 2 different items. im using a black gfb manual bleed valve @15 psi... and i also use a APS BOV to support the boost. however if i put my stock bov back on as i do, it sticks to 12-13 psi.

what im trying to say is u can run a hose from the intake to actuator (without adding the bleed valve/any type of restrictor). just use the stock gsr BOV because it can only support up to 12-13psi. :oops:
