Default Greddy Profec B 2 question

Alright I have a quick question to all you TT owners here. I had a incident occur which lead to me having to turn my boost controller basically all the way down. For some reason I can't locate my manual anywhere and am trying to restore the car to a setting of 5.5 psi. I notice this controller does it in percentages % so what do you all have your's set to? I'm running the emanage system with no custom fuel system or anything like that so I don't want anything more than 5.5 psi. Let me know i'd really apprecaite it.

Turn the Profec B off or to 0% and you will be running the stock 5.6 psi from Greddy. This is what the wastegate springs are set at, so the Profec only controls when they are dumping. Hope this helps.

Yeah that's odd. so if not custom work was done on the emanage you simply turn the profec b off and your running straight out of the box power? any idea what your running if your at 12%?

not quite sure how you can extrapolate what 12% will get you. But 0% for sure will not use the selenoid and will just use your wastegate spring setting which is 5.6 psi.

12% will vary based on engine load and gearing....that's why I've never been too fond of the manual modes. When I played around wtih manual mode...even just a 10% increase would sometimes give me 5.8-6.8psi depending on gear and load.

if you goal is 5.5psi, as mentioned, just turn the boost controller off. Boost controllers are really bad at controlling boost in such small increments from the baseline. For example, they work MUCH better if you are going for 5.5psi to 7psi, rather than 5.5psi to 6psi.

Set the boost level to zero...or there should be like an on/off toggle somewhere in the menus. I havent used the Spec B before, so I cant help you. Maybe check the instruction manual too.

Hold down the select button for 2 seconds to turn it off and repeat to turn it on.
