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

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.

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

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.

    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door. 
    • Given the absence of lower parts, I'd suggest that they are just draped over the backrest for aesthetics in the photo.
