I was wonderin if anyone has the vast manual boost controller on their b5? I am contemplating getting it unless i can find an used chipped A box.

 

I have one and it realy transformed the car for me. I would e mail the guys over there as they will have more info. but I love the control I get and the response and spool is deffinitly worth it. just make sure you do suporting mods to the car to help assure you are making good power without over taxing the car

 

I would not do it, unless you do the DP's. There is just to much heat off the turbo to push it on a stock DP. You are also going to over tax them with all stock parts.

twinturbomew, how are you running it? Like VAST lays it out? I was under the impression, it did not increase boost, it just smooths it out, & adds a little to the taper.

 

twinturbomew..could you take some pictures or something to show us how you ran it and what all you did to put it in?

 

jesus dp's are expensive...is there any diy's that would help so that im not over taxing...the car wont be driven in 2 months so if there were any diy's doing exhaust, i could prolly do those

 

If you think that is expensive, then I would suggest you DO NOT push the turbo's! They are EXPENSIVE to replace, about 5 sets of DP's. The DP are a ROYAL, PITA to take out!

I'm in the military on deployment (navy) so I can't send pics as I have no axsess to my pics from here.

but I and most other people run the standalone mbc. I just installed it in place of the n75. the guys at vast will help with pics I'm sure when you order one.

as for the boost I spike to about 20 and hold 15 till red line.

I had to upgrade my Dp's and install intake spacers to do this. also find the most free flowing cat bac. this will help you keep boost up across the rev range. I tested 4 cat back designs and found that they all effected how much boost I was able to hold.

vast performance has imho the best dp's. I wil get some info from my friend who did testing on several dp's in the end he said that they all made the same amount of power.

I found mine to be the best for the money. my self and several other people have the fastest times with them.

2k since we have tips you should be able to make and hold more due to the load. do you have a mbc. I love mine

 

Well im gonna prolly push my turbos no matter what bc i have an after market warranty...i kno they are a pain in the *** to work with..but if i do blow them then i will get some if not all of the new ones paid for bc I know one of the mechanics.

 

as long as you have a giac chip I would get the vast mbc and tcd. if you are looking into running big boost deffinitly get the Dp's and intake spacers. there is a lot of power in the combo
