Billet boost controller plumbing-open or closed loop??

TR Custom Parts

Going to put on one of Turbonetics billet boost controllers. Directions say to leave the top port on the external wastegate to vent to atmosphere. From what I have been reading on various posts it seems most people plumb them closed loop with a hose running to both ports of the wastegate.

This unit has a bleed valve on it so not sure if that makes a difference or not. Trying to get a better handle on the boost issues with my new 6262 dbb turbo. And yes, have already ported the crap out of the exhaust housing and the downpipe flange.:smile:

So how do u like that new turbo compared to what u were runnen b4? What size is that TN WG?
 
If the unit vents like the old compressor valves we use, then you can run a hose to the inlet of the regulator from the bottom of the gate, make sure you T in a boost reference. For the top, just come out the other side of the regulator and go into the top of the gate.

The TR computer speaks again:biggrin:
 
Why does T-netics say to leave the top port as a vent in their directions?? Talking about the little billet one they sell. Has a bleeder jet in it that you can change. Can you plumb it either way?
