Hi ppls... bought a GFB boost controller and was just wondering if they are crap or if the boost controller is confusing the computer on my car due to the extra boost. It was fine at 8psi but once i reached 9psi the rev's started going up and down eratically and stalling at idol and when driving it was pulling back...Took it off this arvo, Hope I havent wasted my money buying a this boost controller. Was told my many that it would do the same job as a turbo smart one and that they would boost spike the same amount. The only way to go was a digital one, which i didnt wanna spend the money on...

In my opinion they are absolute rubbish. Had it set on 12 and it would spike to 15 then

drop to 10 at the top end. Replaced it in the exact same spot with one of the $30 turbotech

ones sold on here and it is fantastic. I have it running on around 16-17 psi and it holds great without

spiking... Hope this helps :happy:

i also use a turbotech controller and i prefer it to the turbosmart one i had.

where you have the wastegate reading from can cause some spiking. if you have a fmic that didn't use the stock cooler piping then you should have a nipple inserted into the pipe from the turbo to the cooler. this will stop a bit of spiking.

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!
