Those Boost Controllers...

[Triskillion]

hey there, i was reading the thread on the cheap $22 dollar boost controllers.

i wanted to know if it was ok to connect to my car and how much PSI can i ran safely...

r33 gts-t s2, zort, pod everything else stock

[Craved]

it will be fine to use on your car..

consensus is that 14 psi is dangerous for the turbo..(possible turbine wheel delaminating and ending up in your cat)

i ran 11psi through mine for years before upgrade..

your std IC will be a major restriction, but it would be fine to run 11psi through it.

upgrade your IC as one of your first mods if you want that little bit extra power.

thanks man, thats the info i was after.

also good to see you always answer my posts, info i need to know!!! cant say much for everyone else!!!!! haha just joking

[Craved]

hey, im sitting here at work, more than happy to answer any question i have an answer for

[nathn_r33]

yeah same as Craved said i have been running 10psi for ages on std ic no problems yet. and for $22 you cant go wrong

[leech_]

i ran 9psi when i had just a stock cooler. Only just bought one of these $22 boost controllers and have it set to 11psi because at least it gives me that little bit of head room should it spike... which it doesnt appear to be doing anyways which is good

bleed valves are the devil!

Have you checked what boost you are running with your current mods?

[Triskillion]

pretty sure running stock boost, no boost controller or anything.

stock gauge reads 3/4 sign (which is around 7psi isnt it?? thats stock right) but speco meter boost gauge reads 8 or 9ish...

[Craved]

guage could be out, or you might have the extra boost due to exhaust etc (never seen this actually happen)

11psi is ok as leech_ said incase it spikes..

and yes Joe, they are the devil, but $22 V's $900 for an I-colour is a big difference

$22 boost controller you say .. link me up to this boys! I'm sure it will suffice until I purchase an EBC ..

Also, does everyone who has used the $22 controller think it is reasonable?

Apparently they are more than reasonable for the price..

Triskillion wat exhaust do you have

cat back or turbo back?

[Triskillion]

im pretty damn sure it would be CAT back, i havent actual looked yet but i highly doubt the guy i bought it off went and put a dump pipe on it. but it is 3" from the cat at least coz i did check that.

and im pretty sure its a genuine HKS...

also how much for a power intake APEXI POD... i got HKS one but its shitted and i heard there shit. (seen the site with all the tests done) where do i find one??? on a website?

[sl33ek]

I ran mine on 10PSI before my frontmount and now I'm on a 11.5PSI. And yes like everyone says, it never spiked once.

Best $30 I ever spent.

How did you guys gets get it for $22?
