Product Name: Dual Stage
Product Description: Dual stage boost controller
Product Number: TS-0105-1001/TS-0105-1002
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Thank you for purchasing your new DSBC. This new model now has some great new features. These include:
• 2 ramp rates of boost to give you the option of a fast rise in boost or a slightly tame rise for more sensitive setups.
• A wider boost adjustment range for wastegates with low spring base pressures.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR BOOST CONTROLLER
• Use only silicone hose that is the correct size and pressure rating for your application when fitting your boost controller – other
hoses will be effected by heat and will eventually crack or split which could cause excessive boost pressure and engine damage
• Ensure that all plumbing is secured with clamps
• Your boost controller should be mounted at least 100mm from any heat source
• A Turbosmart Fuel Cut Defender may need to be used in conjunction with your boost controller – refer to www.turbosmart.com.au
• The boost dials have a left handed thread, be sure not to over tighten as this will damage the boost controller
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Turbosmart recommends that the Air Fuel ratio is checked once boost pressure is set
• Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a Dynamometer and not on the street
• Turbosmart recommends that a accurate boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle
• Turbosmart recommends that your boost controller is fitted and adjusted by an appropriately qualified technician

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BOOST CONTROLLER
TOOLS REQUIRED
General mechanic tools
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The white wire is positive and the Black wire is negative
Supplied wiring can be split if needed to extend wiring to the appropriate areas
Extend the white wire using the supplied black with white trace wire through the supplied switch to a fused 12 volt ignition
supply – Important, failure to connect to an ignition supply may cause the battery to go flat and may result in damage to the
product
Check that the power source can accept an additional 1amp load
Connect the black wire on the unit, with crimp supplied, to a solid ground point on the chassis. Use the supplied black wire to
extend if needed.

• Allow the engine to cool down before installing your boost controller
• Locate the pressure source port and the wastegate actuator port on the turbocharger assembly (refer drawing 1)
• Remove the factory boost control solenoid if fitted from the boost pressure supply port while leaving the solenoid connected to the
ECU
• Install the DSBC Tee piece in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuator
• If your wastegate actuator has additional ports, these will need to be blocked
• Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps
• Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, and then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws
• Make sure the boost dials are turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.

• Install the DSBC Tee piece in the wastegate pressure line with the wastegate arrow pointing towards the wastegate actuators. Be
sure to keep the hoses joining the wastegate actuators at equal lengths
• Secure all silicone hose ends with hose clamps
• Mount your boost controller bracket onto the vehicle, and then attach the boost controller onto the bracket with the supplied screws
• Make sure the boost dials is turned completely anti-clockwise before making adjustments.
*Note for sequential turbo systems: Sequential turbo setups can be complex and vary from car to car. Please contact your local Turbosmart dealer for more details

IMPORTANT NOTES ON BOOST PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
• Adjustment to your boost controller is made by rotating the Boost Dials
• Rotate in a clockwise direction to increase boost and the reverse direction to decrease boost
• Before making any adjustment, the Boost Dials will need to be fully closed (anti-clockwise)
Step 1: Apply full load to the engine in a high gear (at least 3rd or 4th gear) at full throttle and note the boost pressure
Step 2: To increase the low boost setting, rotate the Low Boost Dial clockwise (maximum of 1 complete revolution at a time)
Step 3: Apply full load to the engine and note the boost pressure
Step 4: Compare the actual boost pressure with the desired boost pressure. If the actual pressure is below the desired pressure,
Step 5: Once the low boost setting is complete, follow step 2 to step 4 on the High boost dial.
return to step 2. If the actual is above the desired boost then decrease by rotating the Boost Dial anti-clockwise and return
to step 3.
BOOST SPIKING
If boost spiking occurs and is undesirable for your application, the gate system can be removed to give you a less aggressive boost
curve. This modification is only required in a minimal number of applications.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON GATE SYSTEM REMOVAL
The gate system can be removed by the following steps.
Perform this modification on a clean bench so that the ball and spring are not lost
• Allow the engine to cool down before removing the boost controller from your vehicle
• Identify the input nipple with the restrictor at the end on the DSBC tee piece. Loosen the input nipple and remove the ball and
spring.
• Check that the internal air passages are clear and free from debris
• Re-install the boost controller by following the instructions for your setup
• You will need to re-adjust your boost settings after the removal of the gate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The following points should be checked if you find that your engine is developing excessive boost, the boost pressure is fluctuating or
the desired boost level cannot be achieved. Please note, the following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced when fitting a
Turbosmart boost controller.
• Check that the boost controller is installed so that the arrow points toward the wastegate actuator
• Check the joining hoses for splits, cracks or loose connection and are the correct size for the application
• Check to see if the boost controller is blocked or contaminated with dirt or debris
• Ensure that there is nothing but the boost controller in the hose between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator, ie tee
pieces for boost gauge or to factory boost solenoid.
• Pressure test the wastegate actuator for leakage, the diaphragm or housing may be cracked or split
• Check that the wastegate is operating correctly
