Very easy to do, there's a guide in the tutorial section for RB25DET in the R33's.... but google it for your RB20 and I'm sure you'll find something with picture that's easy enough follow.

Cheaper and does exactly the same thing. Plus it looks a little more like stock, compared to a (potentially) bright blue boost tee sitting in your engine bay - something some people (i.e. me) may want.

Ok,cool.My turbosmart boost tee is the black sleeper series but yeh it cost me 100 dollars

Yeah I was about to buy a sleeper one of those, but even that stands out more than I want it to. I want metal colours, brass and cruddy aluminium in my engine bay.

Other option is, if you have a pod filter... get/make a pod filter enclosure. I'm about to make mine next weekend hopefully, it will go long enough back to completely cover my turbotech boost tee as well as covering my pod/shielding heat away from it.

What makes a turbotech better than turbosmart?

Guvna1 search the forum and you will find the thread on the turbotechs and everyone running them. They are a pneumatic application not bleed like most of them, more stable, will not spike, set and forgot and can run upto 2bar all for $39.

Given that the turbotech is blue im not quite sure where your going with the stock looking comment???

It's not a bright royal blue like the turbosmart one is. It's kinda of this... 'old' looking blue paint. Not explaining it very well, I know. It also doesn't have any markings/words/brands written on it, so is less obvious.

Fairo, at the end of the day it depends where you put it under the bonnet but if your like me then its out of the way and you forget about it :)

ive got my turbotech cable tied to the underside of the stock solenoid bracket. you can barely see it, and even if you did, it looks almost factory.

and +1 on the stable boost. mine has never spiked, holds flat all the way.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
