granny smith apples or red delicious apples?

whats yr budget? i have a greddy profec bspec2. goes aight. pretty simple to use once you get the hang of it. apexi ones are pretty though.

Yer I played with my mates profec b but I don't like the lay out so much between 300 and 600

$28 turbotech boost tee and spend the rest of the money on more worthwhile mods.

I herd it's dangerous to run a manual boost tee as for boost spike

[89CAL]

good manual ones are alright. I have the boost control kit for the power fc in my car and its pretty good, same as the avcr pretty much but i think

Turbosmart Boost Tee, set it up inside your engine bay so you cant touch it without pulling over and popping your bonnet. Had a friend run through 3 engines because he had it in cabin and could just wind it up at any time.

Given it was a Turbo Holden V6 but still...3 engines gone.

+1 for turbotech manual boost controller.. never had a spike in both my RB20 and RB25.. all other electric boost controllers spiked like crazy.. turbotech uses the Spring and ball.. no bleeding of the air!

iv alwaysed used them in my drift cars there awsome. set your boost and never touch it again!

stock turbo you cant go past the turbotech. a spike in the midrange isnt gonna hurt the turbo, all that matters if that your boost up around 6-7000rpm isnt much more than 12psi

if you have a bigger turbo i'd recommend a profec b II, they seam a bit shitty at first and not so great to use but its very good at controlling boost

[funkymonkey]

you could just replace the wastegate actuator with an aftermarket one and run constant higher boost if that's all you want to achieve. much safer, and undefectable.

i mean, who are we kidding, you're gonna wind up the boost, get it tuned to that boost level to make max power, and then forget about it until you get pulled over and dicked for having a boost controller that's bright pink or whatever lebo colours they come in these days.

boost tee, avcr/profec (preference), eboost2

that order

the AVCR is friendlier than the profec, profec has the added feature of gate full closed to X boost, helps with spool.

yer, thats what i love most about the profec and i cant believe all ebc's dnt have it. helps so much with bigger IW turbos

Well gossip in the tea room never helped anyone.

I ran had around 10psi bleeding through a manual valve, 370rwkw/24psi... there is no issue if correctly done. That is a fact.

IMO you probably don't even need one.

What is an aftermarket actuator like compared to a Turbosmart Boost Tee?

pros/cons?

[Cam84]

I'm running a HDI EBC-R, had it in 2 weeks going fine. just running 10psi seems to hold ok.

Good price too 200 for the lot
