HALLMAN BOOST CONTROLLER INSTALL


Hallman Manual Boost Controller all Spread out next to Eagle Talon Owner's Manual

I purchased a Hallman Manual Boost Controller to stick on my '97 Eagle Talon TSi AWD
after the three inch exhaust I put on the car raised boost to insane levels.

The kit came with everything seen above (with the exception of the Eagle Talon Owner's Manual).

The controller is really very easy to install. It comes with in-depth installation instructions
which I found were just a little TOO in-depth to follow very eaisly. :)

The following Visual Installation Instructions are ONLY
for 1995-1999 Eagle Talons and Mitsubishi Eclipses.




Here you see a view of an engine compartment.
The colors of the various pieces will not match your own.

The yellow red lid with the red hose running out of it is the Blow Off Valve.
The purple tube running south of the BOV is the dump tube.

The Dump Tube is held on by two silver clamps (blue in the picture above).

Unscrew those clamps and pull the dump tube off.






This is what the engine bay looks like with the tube removed.
(Remember, most of your colors will not match the ones in the pictures)

Your next step is to unplug the MAS sensor (the blue harness in the picture).

Unhook the MAS by pressing down on the release (underneath the green
"X") and wiggling the sensor slightly back and forth while pulling.






With the harness unplugged, now unclip the four, brass-colored clamps
located at each corner of the airbox (in blue). Also unscrew the large,
silver clamp, which is holding the rest of the airbox in place (in purple).

Wiggle and pull the top of the airbox along
with the MAS (green "X") out of the car.






Pull your coolant resevoir straight up (large white container
half-full of fluid), and stick it somewhere out of the way.

Now with the airbox removed you'll have the same view as in the picture above.

Unhook both of the blue hoses from the Wastegate Solenoid (in red).

Unhook the one blue hose going to the intake pipe and plug the nipple
that is left sticking out of the intake (under the yellow "X"), with
one of the rubber stoppers included in your Hallman kit.






This is a closeup of where the final blue hose is going -- to a "Y" split.

After the "Y", the blue hose continues on to the Turbo Compressor Housing,
and the green hose is attached to the turbo wastegate (yellow in the picture).

Pull the the entire hose, "Y" split and all, out of the car.

Plug the nipple on the Turbo Compressor Housing (red
"X") with the other rubber stopper in your kit.






The green hose (in the picture) on the bottom of the Hallman
Valve goes to the wastegate nipple (yellow) that you have
just unplugged the stock hose from (purple "X").

Now set your coolant resevoir (white tank) back in place, put the
airbox back on, reattach the dump tube, reconnect the MAS
Harness plug, and tighten all neccessary clamps.

Mount your Hallman Controller Valve (blue) along the same lines as
seen above (or in any other spot you may find more convienent).






You should be left with one final, currently disconnected
hose coming from the Hallman Controller.

You will need to cut the stock hose (purple) anywhere you
would like, and tee the Hallman hose (blue) into it.

Wrap zip-ties (included in your kit) around all the
hose connections so they stay good and tight.



Now you're done with the installation!!

Time to tune....



Take your car out and see how high your max boost will go.

Be sure to pay very close attention to your aftermarket boost gauge,
(you better have one!!) so you don't over-boost and wreck your engine.

With the stock turbo, you should not run over 15PSI of boost for more than
a few seconds. 15PSI is the max steady boost pressure you should strive for.

Be sure you're not around much traffic while tuning, as you will need to pull-
over frequently to make adjustments. Unscrew the screw to lower boost,
screw it in to raise it. Adjustments are very sensitive, so only
move the screw a rotation or two at a time. Good luck!!
