Installing a Manual Boost Controller on the Volvo 340

In this video I installed a manual boost controller on the volvo 340 to try and achieve 10+ psi of boost before I send the ECU of to get chipped.

Mate! Can't tell you how grateful I am for the effort and energy you're putting in to these videos. Real inspiration.. As I managed to aquire a 340 last year from a dude, pretty much identical to yours, couple years older (1988) it needs some real tlc.. but once I have the wherewithal and the knowledge it's hopefully gonna be my Grand Tourer and I'll take it back to its motherland Sweden haha. Maybe we'll go for a cruise one day!

Can you add these after your Boost Solenoid but before the gate to gain an extra 2/3Lbs of boost? I am on a Boost Tune where I believe I am on like 15ish lbs of boost and would like to just add 2/3 more lb's.. Any advise, I don't feel like going through an whole new tune.. It was Dyno'ed just for number's I think the tuner just flashed me over to like a stage 2ish Map and called it a day.. They didn't really tune the car little by little adding power, They just flashed it. and showed me the results...

Oh also them manual boost controllers - or similar - because the barbs/ports on them are screwed into the controller body itself can end up leaking, so if its not already then no worries but if it is or does put a we bit of teflon tape on the threads.

Thanks for the advice

[@lloydturner48]

No worries mate. The rspec ones are real good as the ports/take offs are part of the mbc body itself so that removes the risk of boost leaks.

[@lloydturner48]

You should of kept the ebc plugged in unless your ecu doesnt care about it and not flashing eml also.

[@lloydturner48]

You dont put a t piece in a wastegate line mate.
You never take vacuum from that or the fpr.
It should be off the intake manifold wether thats its own line or teed off a brake booster line.
