    okay to run no boost controller?

    is it okay to run no boost controller for a couple of months? as my understanding goes, you'll only need one when you want to raise boost am i right?

    The boost controller is not an issue.

    What is though, is everything else up to scratch to run the turbo? Everything installed tunned etc?

    You can use the turbos stock Actuator arm to adjust your boost. Its a simple nut arrangement to adjust boost levels. You do not need a controller.

    The anoying thing with the stock Arm is that it is a pain in the ass adjusting boost when tunning. ie very hot down there.

    Sometimes you do need a boost controller to hold the boost steady. Im having abit of problems of my boost dropping at higher rev range but apparently its normal if you're running a bleed type controller or actuator.

    The amount of boost it will run at is dependant on many things such as turbo manifold flow, dump pipe + exhaust but most of all the motor you bolt it on to.

    Boost controller is only needed if you want to set a hi and low setting. If you're not fussed, just use the standard wastegate/ actuator that came with your turbo.
