Features of Atomic manual boost controller:
Use Cases:
· Able to be installed on most turbocharged vehicles that utilise a pneumatically actuated wastegate. Is not compatible with vehicles that utilise an electronically controlled wastegate.
FAQ:
How do I ensure that my Atomic has been plumbed correctly.
o Etched into the body of the Atomic are two little arrows indicating the required direction that boost is required to flow to your wastegate. The nipple with the restrictor hole will need to be connected to the hose from your boost pressure source, where the vacuum nipple without the restrictor hole will connect to your wastegate actuator. If in the case the Atomic is installed in the opposite orientation, the Atomic would not be operating as intended.
Can my Atomic be installed with the OE boost control system on your vehicle
o If your vehicle comes factory with a boost control system alike a factory boost control solenoid, you will need to disconnect the various hoses leading to the solenoid but ensuring that you leave the solenoid electronically connected. By leaving the solenoid connected, your ECU will assume that it still retains control over boost and that no CEL codes are triggered.
I’m finding that my boost is overshooting uncontrollably:
o screw the needle fully clockwise, if the problem continues check that a hose has not come loose or been connected incorrectly. Check that all hose connections are secure and leak free
I’m leaking air at idle! Help!
o if you can hear air hissing through the controller at idle, the boost source is hooked up to the intake manifold. It should be re-connected to a boost source BEFORE the throttle body.
