Turbotech Boost Controller

[vic stagea mick]

i have just purchased a turbotech boost controller and dont have much idea how to blumb it into the boost lines even though i have seen pictures on here i dont want to stuff it up.Its on a series 2 stagea,I am wondering if someone can help me out with fitting it.and lend me a boost gauge to get the pressure right.I am going to the RE Customs membership and dyno day and if possible i can do it there if someone has time.Can someone give some idea what i might need to do it.I am free tommorow as well if you have time

phone mick if its easier or message

There is a thread in DIY on how to do it... it is very easy

Thanks Ash

Had a read of it and will have a better look when the sun comes up but i don't have a boost gauge to check boost levels, And thats one of the things i need to borrow as i only want to set it and forget it and not have a permanent gauge in the car.Well not yet anyway

Thanks Mick

I don't recommend setting and forgetting. Turbotechs are very reliable manual boost controllers, probably the best out there bar none but I'd never rule out boost spiking or overboosting on any boost controller...always good to have a glance at the gauge when you're giving her stick. Buy a boost gauge mate

You can't really stuff it up...it'll either boost or it won't. The only thing you'll need to be careful of is that you start with a conservative boost and slowly move up rather than just opening the valve all the way.

IF you're looking for a nice cheap boost gauge... I just happen to have some for sale

Can't say i've used a boost gauge in over 8 years lol...

If boost spikes high by the time you feel/notice the damage is most likely already done anyway

if your gonna get it tuned soon, just let the tuner do it

i know its lazy but saves the hassle

Thanks for the reply's

The turbotech boost controller is now fitted and working well with the help from a mate from work ( WRX STI DRIVER) and i also got a sass mechanical boost gauge with different coloured lights whoooo ( no we didn't wire them up)

Be carefull of Autobarn Doncaster prices as they wanted to charge me $59.99 for a boost gauge that had an advertised a price of $49.99 on the box when it was scanned

Hope every one has fun at the SAU VIC dyno day hope to see you there because i now have to work most of the day but will show up if i get out at a reasonable time

P.S we got 9psi straight away without having to do any more fine tuning(luck or good managment i don't know) would love 15+ psi now.Next is nistune and a bigger or better turbo time to start saving ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[getyayayaout]

just a quick thumbs up for this controller. put one on all my mates cars as well as mine and they're fantastic value

[33gtst]

never had a problem with mine either....but if your unsure how it goes in...ahhh maybe you shouldnt be playing with it? And yes I'm referring to the boost controller...hahaha

[vic stagea mick]

It was good to see other Stageas there yesterday Mick, and you weren't the only person with a lower than expected result. Most people were complaining of a 20wkw difference, mine was down 25awkw since the last tune there 2 months ago.

Just a tune will net good gains and allow further mods in the future. While im no RB expert, from what I have read the Nistune is the way to go. Research well, there are many options and a wealth of information, get in the forced induction forum and read up on them.
