General Buick Tech / Re: Turbosmart Eboost2 boost controller

« on: February 20 2012, 11:45:33 AM »

Thanks for the replies...
The XFI is brand new...haven't yet fired the car. I'm just finishing the engine build. I am using an internal wastegate (John Craig Turbo) I wanted a EBC that I could change on the fly. I think I figured it out...(not sure what I was thinking cause the wastegate control has nothing to do with anything anymore =P) I also found a note in the Turbosmart literature about removing the factory restrictors (if any). Thanks for the input everyone - great board!

Thanks for the "welcome"! I've had several GN's over the years and this hot air is the one I am left with. I originally built it for my wife back in 1989. It is a rebuild (insurance claim). Been completely through it now, suspension, drivetrain, brakes, steering, etc. etc. I have lots of Buick parts laying about so if there is something weird you are looking for, let me know! Cheers!

Hi, I am a migrant from the other site...
 
I have a Hot Air Buick with a FAST XFI (Caspers interface) and I am installing an electronic boost controller and had a few stupid questions...
 
1) Do I need to remove the restrictor in the "T" at the compressor?
2) I obviously can eliminate the wastegate control solenoid as there is no more ecu to control it..?
 
??
Thanks
