Boostin1657615274 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 "Spring pressure" setting on the Tru Boost isn't really spring pressure. It's the pressure at which the wastegate opens. They used to call it something different on early versions of the Tru Boost. Have you looked at AEM's videos for adjusting the Tru Boost?

So I raise the duty and then I raise the "spring" setting a little at a time. The "spring" setting has a big effect on how fast the turbo spools. Still, the Tru Boost really isn't that great of a boost controller unless you really like the gauge design. It is an open-loop controller with no proportional or integral gain capability, no air temperature correction, nothing. Even among other external controllers it's one of the cheapest around. It does use a 3 port solenoid which a lot of people do like. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
