as long as your map has sensical values for timing/fuel, and you're SURE you're not running in CL, then PTFB isn't "harmful" to the engine. in fact, long, long, long time ago, someone (vaus) made up a simple little discreet circuit that used to send a 100% tps signal to the ecu when boost went above a settable trigger point. basically it would force the 16bit ecu into open loop regardless of "actual" throttle angle. it worked fine to prevent the negative effects of PTFB.
nowadays we just reflash the ecu! good times.. there is one negative aspect of PTFB--the turbo works "extra hard" against the restriction of the partially closed throttle. in turn, that increases the exhaust gas backpressure, hurting VE. as a result, it is far more elegant to keep boost lower until the throttle angle becomes higher, but it's not really detrimental to longevity.

Thanks ride for the detailed explanation. Much appreciated. So an mbc is compatible with Accessport? Do u mean sensible ratios?

Can someone with an in depth knowledge of the GM BCS tell me if this is correct... If you have to MBC in line with the GM BCS, is compressed air being lost through the BCS if its duty cycle is at 100% and the spring preload of the MBC is overcome, or is the diagram that I have drawn up of how the GM BCS wrong? If the solenoid is just opening and closing the connection inside of the valve in that spot, then when the MBC opens, some of the air is going to be lost through the lines that lead back to the turbo inlet... Any imput??? |

You're basically right. But when the MBC is letting pressure through to the actuator, you're above the boost target, so losing boost is not a concern.
The more interesting thing, IMO, is that when the MBC is closed (i.e. you're below target boost) the solenoid is routing air from the compressor to the turbo inlet. Last edited by NSFW; 11-26-2009 at 01:38 PM. Reason: further thinking |

Wouldn't losing that air reduce compressor efficiency though? Even though it remains in the system and is not losing metered air, it's still wasted air/needs to be re-compressed. Idk maybe it's so minor it isn't really important?

Are you guys setting your target boost levels in your maps the same as what you are setting your MCB's to? If so I could see that working out, but it seems like a waste to be bleeding off that compressed air to be re compressed again and again. If you had the target boost level set EXACTLY the same as the MBC then the solenoid would block pressure where the red arrow is in the drawing of the BCS and you wouldn't be loosing that pressure to the turbo inlet pipe. I know that it is probably close to impossible for that be to achieved, but it seems like you would be making your turbo less efficient if its loosing all of that airflow.

You can put a restrictor in the line that bleeds to atmosphere to minimize this. |

it doesn't need to bleed anything. the solenoid is either open (and boost is wastegate) or closed (and the mbc is in charge). as far as how much air this is, it is minuscule. you wouldn't even see the effect in your fuel trims. keep in mind when the BCS is really venting the engine is consuming ~250-300g of air a SECOND. the density of air is ~1.19g/L. in other words, there is a HUGE volume of charge air getting sucked into the cylinders and the tiny amount passing out a length of 1/8th inch ID hose after first finding its way through a solenoid is a drop in the bucket. |

+1 on blocking the port, although I hear some blocking solenoids need a bit of air movement to work properly, hence the suggestion to have a restrictor in it. On my hybrid set-up the solenoid blocks air as soon as I get above 2500 rpm, I am not flowing 250 g/s at that point, maybe 130 or so. So no, it will not affect fuel trims, as it only causes a leak in OL, but it will still be an air leak. How much of one? Depends on your solenoid. I hear the GS one has fair sized ports, so if you used 1/4 line everywhere it could add up to a bit of air, especially on spool. Quote:
1/4 line would allow a few (my guess 5) g/s of air through. IMO 5 is 5 whp, so it matter. A little restrictor would easily get that down to 1 or less, IMO not significant. |

no reason to start here. Quote:
the answer is, in my experience, and contrary to what i initially assumed, you do not need a bleed to allow the WGA to return to the rest position. there may be a flaw in your incarnation, but it doesn't exist in mine. |

5g/s will net you about a 3-4krpm idle. you think you can get the engine to idle that high pulling ALL of its intake air through that plumbing? surely you have seen the port sizes on the gm solenoid.. or the grainger? how big are they compared to the port on the IACV? not that it matters, because you don't need the bleed in the first place, but let's not just throw arbitrary numbers around. the idea that blowing off your boost control pressure signal costs you 5hp is ridiculous. |

I take that back, I am not on crack. Maybe 2 to 3 g/s if 1/4 hosing.
A vacuum leak on the IM will cause fuel trims to go out more then 25% (on the cars that have 25 vs 15% allowed in trims), and that line can only be 1/8inch diameter. If you had 1/4 inch hosing (which I said before) do the math, figure out the X-sectional area of that line, then figure it out for your intake piping (likely 2.5 inch piping going to FMIC) Don't forget, if you are running 23 psi, then the comp housing of the turbo is likely at 25+. |

So does everyone agree then it should be safe to cap off the intake return line? And it's better for performance in the sense that it will eliminate the "leak"? I've seen small dips in my AFR that I haven't been able to completely tune out so I'm thinking this is the cause. If it's safe to do that I will cap mine off and re-calibrate the MAF to see if that helps.

It's being recirculated post-MAF though, so metering is a non-issue.

^It sounds like its not going to be a problem to cap off the line that goes to the turbo inlet, because like littlebluegt said, once you let off the gas the solenoid will open and bleed any pressure left in the wastegate actuator back through the compressor housing.
-You're right, I haven't read all the posts, but now that we have this figured out, I think that someone should make a correction to the install instructions of the vacuum lines for this setup, because even though you guys may think that a little pressure being lost isn't a BIG deal, it is still happening the way that people are showing to run the lines, and the bottom line is that they are loosing some efficiency by routing the lines that way and there in no need for it. |

If there were a large chamber in between the turbo and the inlet that needed to be filled (the volume of a FMIC, for example ) before the the recirculated air made it to a point where it could prevent further intake, then that time lag would create a rich dip, but there isn't one in this case. |

My comment about metered air was if it is not recirced to the intake.
I don't think we are being anal, Subaru didn't bleed the OEM system (with a restrictor pill I might add, not just a 1/8 inch line) to atm, they recirc'd it! |

You guys are way overthinking this. The minuscule amount of charge air lost is not an issue at all.

Cool. I'm going to cap off the intake return port on my grimmspeed bcs and we'll see how it goes.
