    Question Boost Controller Question

    I was just wondering if it is possible to turn the boost right off with a boost controller or is stock boost the lowest you can go ????

    Why would you want lower than stock boost?

    Exactly !!!!

    i will finaly have enough to buy my Turbo II in november when winter starts

    Heres another question: i am planning on boosting 10+ psi on a rotary
    does anyone think this is going to affect reliability alot ?
    Stock boost is around 6.5 psi
    Full exaust will alow me to boost around 10 psi
    Will a boost controller still allow me to return to 6.5 and over 10 ?

    Sorry for the dumb questions im new at the FI shit

    I can't really comment on the reliability factor since I don't know much about 2nd gen rotaries. As long as you've got the fuel supply to overcome detonation then it *should* be okay. I'm sure the rx7 forums know the answer inside-out-and-backwards.

    Any boost controller should allow you to set the level you want, except as noted above. What kind are you getting - manual or electronic?

    another question ...
    with a electronic boost controller do you need to buy a new wastegate or will the stock one work ?
