Electronic Boost control from unused wire in loom
#21
I disagree, why would you purposefully make EBC have to work harder? When I'm in boost I only see maybe 5-10% difference between the start of a pull and the end. If I was sourcing on the hotside, that range would be much larger.
Plus, I just turn mine off if I want low boost. It's pretty important it's on the coldside for that.

Because you aren't actually making EBC work harder.
EBC is calculating duty cycle based off of your MAP signal, which comes from the intake manifold, as cold side as it gets. It doesn't matter how much boost the wastegate is seeing because EBC is controlling that.

Nope. Once you have tuned it (initial value or bias table) then the pressure drop of your intake piping is already taken into account.
All EBC does is control what the wastegate sees. So EBC can make it see whatever it wants, no matter what the boost source is.

Yep, see how all the jumpers are to 1 or 4 on this 1.6 assembly chart? DIY broke the page, so this is cache and looks funny. If you compare this to your picture and line up other things like spark outs and injectors it will all make sense.

Thanks, this does make it much easier to track each wire, but some of the wires are not mentioned on the DIY assembly chart. But my harness still has them, do these unmentioned wires still correspond in the same alphanumeric fashion?
Thanks for all your help so far. I'll be putting a video together of this process and would really like to get it right so I don't put out any false information when I start to film it.

So now that I have everything wired in how can I now find the wires in the car?
So when I look at this wiring diagram under CONN#2 I see that the K wire goes to the AFM but it also goes to the Throttle sensor. Will this be a problem when I install the EBC? Assuming that the LT GRN-RED wire is the correct one.

As for wiring, I hate hacking up the factory harness so I tend to use unused pins and run new wires for things like this.
