if a manual boost controler was to be put on the wrong way round what would happen ?

[elnevio]

The world would end precisely three seconds later...

















... actually, I'm not sure, but I think it would boost far too high and run straight into fuel cut like there's no tomorrow!

Your right Nev. I fitted my one the wrong way round wnhen I first fitted mine. hit fuel cut all the time & know matter how I adjusted it I got fuel cut.

that explains i put mine in for a lil test and was getttin fuel cut @ about 4000rpm and the gear range was over in split seconds ripped it out imeditaly so not to course any damage to me turbos or engine or anything else i could ruin

[wintertidenz]

If you put it in wrong the turbos will not stop producing boost and the wastegates won't open - when I put mine on round the wrong way my boost gauge saw 20ish PSI in a matter of seconds before I went oh sh*t and let off the pedal.

Defo. Wong Way Wound.

so i could of ruined me turbo's ?

If you've got a boost gauge and are not an idiot I would imagine you'll be right :)

Karl - it's bloody unlikely you've ruined your turbos.
In fact, it's unlikely you've done any damage that will manifest itself in the next 100,000miles :)

The most likely side effect of overboost would be some detonation, which would have been interrupted by the ECU pooing it's pants and cutting the fuel. If you'd done it a lot I'd worry, but a couple of instances of fuel cut aren't something I'd panic about too much.
