------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR BOOST CONTROLLER
-
Consult your local specialist before setting your desired boost pressure and FCD boost level
- Setting boost beyond your engines capability may result in engine damage
- To safeguard against “pinging” or detonation, always use the highest octane fuel available
- Please check www.turbosmartonline.com for the latest updates and information on fitting your Turbosmart FCD
RECOMMENDATIONS
-
Turbosmart recommends that your FCD is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician
- Turbosmart recommends that the engines Air/Fuel ratio is checked once the FCD and desired boost pressure is set, as any
increase in boost pressure or incorrect setting of the FCD can cause the engine to run “LEAN”, resulting in possible engine
damage

FITTING YOUR FUEL CUT DEFENDER
- Locate the vehicles MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor, it is connected to the engines wiring harness by three wires, and
has one pressure hose joining it to the inlet manifold (Fig. 1)
- If you are unsure of the location of the MAP sensor please refer to the specific factory workshop/repair manual for your model of
vehicle
- Install the FCD T-piece between the MAP sensor and the pressure signal. Make sure the arrow is pointing towards the MAP
sensor
- Ensure all hoses are not cracked, blocked, kinked or restricted and all connections are secured with hose clamps
- Mount the FCD with the supplied bracket in a suitable position to allow access for adjustment and be adequately shielded from
heat, i.e. positioned at least 100mm or 4” from the turbine housing or the exhaust manifold
- Before making any adjustment the Clamp Dial (Fig. 2) will need to be fully closed (anti-clockwise)
- Adjustment to the FCD is made by turning the Clamp Dial
- Turn clockwise to increase the fuel cut level and anti-clockwise to decrease the fuel cut level
- Turbosmart recommends that the fuel cut limit is set 2-3 PSI (0.14 – 0.21 BAR) above the desired engine boost pressure
- If you wish to lock the setting of your FCD to avoid further adjustment, use a 2mm Allen key to tighten the detent grubscrew in the
side of the FCD until the adjustment knob is locked
