how are they niceer tho?

this is a question your tuner should be able to answer rather nicely.

electronic boost controllers have been proven time and time again at being better at managing boost curves than bleed valves.

that being said, the turbotech manual boost controller has received a lot of praise from a shit load of people for its ability to maintain boost. i think because unlike a bleed valve, it doesnt allow air to bleed slowly to the wastegate (hence its name, "bleed valve") which can cause spiking, but snaps open and allows all the air to hit the wastegate at once when it reaches the pressure you set it at.

in short, get an ebc.

adrian, google -> careerone -> criteria: apprentice, paint.

Cara, I highly suggest speaking to a TUNER, someone who is in the know, not "someone told me this, someone told me that" That way they can sit you down, let you know what you need and why, then you can go from there with the confidence you're doing things right

Steve, very nice, I'd like one of them in my car!

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
