How these work?
use between turbo actuator and Turbo Compressor cover silicone ( 3 mm pipe between Actuator and Turbo - or between external wastegate vacuum line and pressure outlet eg plenum/intercooler piping ) Cut line - connect in between the line this boost tee.
How it works?
What it does is that when your turbo is boosting ( pressure ) the boost Tee will release a small amount of pressure ( like putting a hole in your silicone line.. This will trick the turbo/actuator into thinking that its not boosting as much ( because say; if you adjust Turbosmart boost tee from 10 psi to now 13 psi. 3psi is getting released out from the boost Tee tricking the actuator/ external wastegate.. )
Part Number BLUE: TS-0101-1001
Part Number BLACK: TS-0101-1002
Simply connect the boost tee - screw top in full ( so boost tee is shut and not leaking ) Go for a drive - see what boost is eg 10 psi standard. Then jump out of vehicle- pop hood screw it out 5 or more clicks - drive on and test again till you have the right boost level you want.
From experience with a manual boost Tee like this one you can only adjust them about 5+/- PSI from standard. So if you have a 10psi wastegate or actuator - with a boost Tee you should be able to adjust it to ( from your original actuator / wastegate pressure ) to about 5-7 PSI max more. Anymore than this and you would need to change your actuator or wastegate spring!!
Now what I say above is just hear say. But I hope helps
