BUSCHUR manual boost controller

I just received a zip lock bag with vacuum line and some black thingy! What could it be?! Obviously a buschur manual boost controller! With no instructions


Stoked to have a piece of buschur racing in my car... but I have no clue how to install/mount/use the thing. I know it works different than other mbcs so I just want to do it the right way. If anyone wants to send me a PM or post in the thread please do so! And if anyone from Buschur sees this... please help!

Also if anyone has any way of mounting it... that'd be appreciated too

Theres an arrow on it -- it points towards your turbo. (inline)

its an Inline controller so its not really "mounted" anywhere. But you can zip tie it off to something if you like.

No.. thats on top of the car -- an evo x i believe..

its an inline man.. you put it where ever you want it. Put it in your back seat with 20 feet of vac line if you want. Theres no "mounting" spot for it. One side is vac lined to the intake manifold, the other is vac lined to the wastegate... thats it..


Perhaps you should have a friend over or take it to a shop if your not sure how to install a boost controller... Because its more complicated to change your oil then it is to install this..

I must be over thinking it then... I just changed my fuel pump and that was pretty easy... I've done all the work on my car myself. oil, oil filter, down pipe, test pipe, intake filter...

I think I'm just making it harder than it is lol...

don't I need to disconnect any other lines? like the stock boost solenoid?

pictures would really help...

Do you have a boost gauge? Because they come preset at the lowest setting, which will be in the 12 or so psi range. So the car is going to be terribly slow after its put on. Which will require you to slowly adjust it. But being that your having trouble installing it -- im concerned about telling you to turn it up without any form of tuning or boost reference.

Instructions are on our site. You can also pick up the phone and save yourself time and a lot of people thinking you aren't very bright.

Take your stock hoses off the wastegate and factory boost control solenoid. Leave the electric plug hooked up to the solenoid.

Now take the hose we sent you and put one end on the nipple on the elbow coming off the turbo. Route it to where you'd like to put the inline controller. Cut the hose and attach it to the inlet, which is the end opposite the arrow. Now attach the hose that is left to the outlet and route it down to the nipple on the wastegate and cut it to length. Easy.

The controller, if you haven't turned it playing with it, comes adjusted for the lowest setting. Each line on the controller is 1 psi. Go run the car down the road or dyno or whatever at WOT, typically in 3rd gear and see what the boost is. Adjust from there until you hit your target. You have to remove the hose from the nipple on the outlet side, turn the controller and then attach the hose again.

I am/was looking at getting this item.. However i'm more visually adept than reading about which hose goes here and there with out knowing the car all that well... Did you say there are actual visual instructions on your site? If so please pm or reply with your product support info.

thanks
