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.

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
