ok, so i have a hks2535..

do i keep on adjusting my boost via the adjustable actuator (will annoy me after a while) - i know its better to keep the wategate shut for as long as possible yada yada

or

lower actuator to lowest + install the turbo tech i got sitting here

or

lower actuator to lowest + be a wanker and have a cool hi/low switch for daily driving then 'spirited' (as u sau gents call it) driving?

winter is approaching, dont think i need 18psi to do wat i do, rather keep it low and give the thing a easier workload for a bit.

i already have all the above parts next to me, i just started my apprenticeship so things like profec b are not an option right now as id rather make-do with the above suggestions...

any ideas?

thats the thing, sick of feathering the throttle....

:thumbsup:

just dont mash it to the floor all the time.

I ran 24psi/350rwkw for ages, never really had a problem or needed to turn the boost down.

Even daily driving @ 270rwkw/17psi, 65-75% throttle = no problem easily.

Work with what you have...

Just use the turbotech to raise your boost to the desired level while using the adjustable actuator to control spiking or increase response...

I run the exact same setup with the same turbo on my rb20...works a treat...

      I know -_- Oddly enough I went to a car show this weekend and not a single person made any mention of Nitrous... I did have to argue with a know it all that was convinced I had an RB26 head with HKS V-Cam as opposed to a regular VCT RB25 head, but what do I know. I think my HKS oil cap was throwing him off.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      That seems like a lot more work than just using a second jack under a front tow hook to raise it enough to get another jack under it.

      They're wonderful when only used to lift your car up an inch so a real jack fits under your front lip. Besides that, I've only ever used them on the side of the road.  We call them widow makers here.  Unfortunately, like I mentioned in another post, ramps are not an option for me due to generally working on my car once my kids are asleep. Cold starts, 4" exhaust and sleep rarely go well together. I honestly find using ramps a hell of a lot more work than what I'm currently doing anyways.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
