Title: gillis over boost no change with turns
Post by: Thedivergent03 on July 04, 2017, 02:35:10 AM
just installed gillis on my 88 tc. the straight vacuum port is going to vacuum tree, the 90 degree vacuum port is on wastegate actuator. i tried 6,5,3,2 and it push's to 15 and would go more if i didn't let off throttle. what else should i check?XXX

Figured it out... For some reason I need the valve backed out further then recommended. I'm at eleven turns out for 14psi

I had initially switched mine, too, and thought the further in I screwed it, the lower the boost would be.  I kept overboosting to 18psi.  Mine is fairly far backed out to get 12 psi, but each rotation in adds about 2 psi. ;)

I love the difference the gillis valve makes in driveability, though.  The on/off switch is much lower in the power band. :D
