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!

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
