So I'm trying to expand my knowledge base on Turbo cars and understand using a manual boost controller gate Several people have posted the diagram of the turbonetics boost controler and an external gate.
And I'm just having a hard time with that diagram. You have manifold pressure to the bottom of the gate trying to open it. You have the controller in the line to the top of the gate so when boost hits a certain PSI the spring loaded valve opens and applies boost to the top of the gate, closing it.
Seems like it should be the other way around with the controller to the bottom.
