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.

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
