Good writeup, but some sections need working.
In particular, your description of how a wastegate works is incorrect, actually it's backwards. The input port on the wastegate is on the OTHER side of the diaphragm from your description, the pressure applied to this port is what opens the wastegate. Without this line attached, the wastegate would never open. Your explanation of how to tune the wastegate duty cycle is correct, but what those changes are actually doing is again, backwards. There are three basic types of boost controllers, bleed-style electronic, interrupt-style electronic, and manual. Bleed-style electronic - This is what the stock BCS is on our cars. The line coming from the turbo compressor outlet goes to T, one leg of the T goes to the wastegate, the other leg goes to the BCS. The other end of the BCS runs to the intake. With a wastegate duty cycle of 100, the BCS is open, allowing the air coming from the turbo's compressor outlet to flow through the T, through the BCS, and back into the intake. The wastegate sees very little pressure, so it does not open. When the wastegate duty cycle is 0, the BCS is closed, forcing the air coming from the turbo's compressor outlet to flow through the other leg of the T and straight into the wastegate. When the pressure applied to the wastegate is equal to the wastegate spring pressure, the wastegate will open. The bleed-style BCS controls how much pressure the wastegate sees by pulsing quickly, venting off some of the air coming from the turbo back to the intake, lowering the pressure seen by the wastegate. Interrupt-style electronic - This is the Prodrive, Perrin, GM, etc. These are 3-port units (whereas the OEM is a 2-port). When the BCS is at rest, air can pass between port 1 and port 2, but not 1-3 or 2-3. When the BCS is energized, air can pass between port 2 and 3, but not 1-2 or 1-3. By attaching the turbo outlet to port 1 and the wastegate to port 2, we get the interrupt-style BCS. When the wastegate duty cycle is 0, the BCS is at rest, so air can pass freely between ports 1 (turbo) and 2 (wastegate). This means the wastegate sees the full boost pressure and will open as soon as it hits the wastegate spring pressure. When the wastegate duty cycle is 100, the BCS is energized, so air can pass freely between ports 2 (wastegate) and 3 (outside air). The wastegate sees zero pressure, and will not open. The advantage of this type of BCS is at high duty cycles, when the BCS is trying to keep the wastegate closed. In the bleed-style, the wastegate will ALWAYS see some boost pressure, the farther the WGDC is from 100, the more pressure it will see, which means it will begin to crack open pretty soon, well before you reach target boost. In the interrupt-style, the wastegate sees no boost pressure until the BCS wants it to, allowing you to build boost faster. Manual - This is a very simple, very robust style boost controller. It is simply placed in the line between the compressor outlet and the wastegate (compressor outlet to BC, BC to wastegate). The BC creates a pressure drop in that line, essentially creating a pressure drop at the wastegate. This means that if the turbo is putting out 15 psi, and the BC is set at +5 psi, the wastegate will see 10 psi. The setting of the boost controller is always "+X psi", X being the amount of pressure the the BC drops. They are not complicated, but they get the job done very effectively. The only downside to them, is you are always set up to run the full boost that the MBC is set for. Partial throttle, 3/4 throttle, full throttle, your target boost is always the same. With a large turbo where you can control the boost pressure through the throttle quite easily this is fine, but for a small turbo that hits full boost early and easily, it can be a PITA to drive around. The EBC lets you set different target boost levels based on RPM and throttle position, the MBC does not.

sucide eggroll..
there are ways to tune around a MBC with small turbos, via runing a parallel boost setup using an boost solenoid or you can just set the cl/ol delays so that it starts running rich as soon as it spools, atleast thats how im interpretting it. |

thanks for the feedback guys. Like I said, any info that needs to be corrected, let me know, I'll be happy to do it. And if you agree with someone else's correction, back them up so I know it's not just one person that thinks the info is wrong.
I've posted a link to this in the RomRaider forum. I want to get all the details hammered out here first. The idea is that once the majority think the info is correct, we can move it to RR for a more indepth review. Most of the info is from RR anyway. |

http://www2.turbov6camaro.com:443/gate.htm I'm not sure I understand. You're saying that the only reason the wastegate opens is because boost helps overcome the spring tension? What happens when you pull the boost reference line off? You're saying it wouldn't open, but my gate opens at the spring pressure. I can only make ~7 psi then. Also, the boost reference nipple is at the top of the wastegate, not near the exhaust side. I'm a little confused. please explain further. |

The spring pushes the wastegate shut. If pressure inside the diaphragm is higher than the pressure of the spring the wastegate opens.
The pressure inside the diaphragm is controlled by the boost control solenoid, that is itself controlled by the WDC. Removing the boost line from the wastegate will cause the wastegate to never open. Bypassing the line from the BCS will make the wastegate to stay open when boost is above spring pressure. |

Well, I'll give you two that are easy to get at the library rather than the books of doom (most of it's over my head). I got from an auto-e major friend.
Try Engine Management: Advanced Tuning by Greg Banish as well as the less useful How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems by Jeff Hartmann. Both discuss LBT/MBT/RBT. Banish does it more in terms of the theory of why you should do it that way, Hartman does it more from the perspective of finding the actual value for that car on the rollers. Additionally, Innovate Motorsports has some very good whitepapers on their site about it. |

And it's not the fueling that's a problem with an MBC, if your car has a fueling problem that needs to be taken care of in the fuel tables, the only downside of an MBC is that you can't hold boost below max during partial throttle. To take care of this you can do a few different things, including running an EBC in parallel to handle boost at partial throttle or just feathering the gas to get your desired boost (more difficult with smaller turbos). Personally, I'm a fan of MBCs. Set it once, and the car will run the same boost today, tomorrow, at 30 degrees, 100 degrees, whatever. When I was using the EBCS it was SUCH a pita...one day it would drive fine, a week later when it's 30 degrees outside it would overboost by 4 psi. Try to tune it on the dyno and first it ignores the max wastegate duty field and goes much higher, overboosting by 5 psi, then it decides to dump everything off, going below target boost by 4 psi, and then it just feels like lowering the WDC more and more (even though it's below initial WDC, below max WDC, and below target boost with no knocking), lowering the boost further and further below the target, for no reason at all. I don't miss my EBCS one bit. |

Thank for pointing out the wastegate stuff guys. I updated the original post to reflect the correct description.
Keep the good info coming |

i felt it move too....
yeah, i might have climaxed if i really had greater understanding of how open tuning works...but i was refered to a few books on romraider by a buddy of mine who is helping me tune my car, so i will be studying the books and posts like this to get an understanding of how my car works (along with picking my buddies brain).... great write up gentleman, us common knowledge men really appreciate all of you for spitting this kind of information out... thanks again

Yea I mean its like Unabombers stuff. Everything can be really intimidating if you have to search for it everywhere and judge where the threads/posts are misinformation.
But when someone unifies or collaborates to get all the information in one spot, it makes it so much easier to get the information right, as well as helping the new guys learn. |

If they don't make this into a sticky, the author should post it on Wikipedia.

just bookmark this page..lol.. i just started tuning my hybrid build.. and with this post it has answered a couple questions.. . nobody seems to have a damn hybrid tune.. but so many always say.. oh if u blow ur 2.0liter go hybrid with wrx heads.. but what about the tuning?.. im currently making a very safe base map.. and one for my needs.. cuz when im done im posting my maps to the ppl in need..
