Manual Boost Controller = Boost Tee = Bleed Valve. If you're going to buy one, get the one Kris recommended: Turbotech. Cheap and very reliable.

dont like manual boost controllers....cant tell what your boosting up to until you try it out...recomend proper digital boost controllers....

That's why you start off with it in the factory setting and adjust incrementally, as opposed to just winding it up and letting loose. Will take about 5 adjustments to get it perfect. Turbotech manual boost controllers are fantastic, never had one spike on me, ever.

i bought a manual turbosmart boost controller but dont know how many psi is each click anyone have a rough idea? im guessing all the way to bottom end would be standard boost just wanting to know how many more clicks to 10psi? if anyone knows thanks.

I'm pretty sure if you run am turbo, be prepared to upgrade a lot of things otherwise your standard setup is not going to last long. Most the time its recommended getting a tune done after certain mods. It also depends what power range for a particular turbo. Increasing boost means your fuel:air ratio changes dramatically with the potential of running way too lean.

if u run a am turbo but stock other parts except exhaust from the front pipe to the tip, would 14psi hurt?

i still had stock turbo but was running 14 psi with profec 2 boost controller,exhaust,pod filter,front mount and bov and kept getting fuel cuts,pump or injectors weren't keeping up foot flat and was like speed limiter was kicking in at 70-80 k's (well mechenic told me it was fuel system anyway)

yep. you'd be leaning out and even more so with the aftermarket turbo. would require fuel pump and retune.

there's only so much equipment is designed for, fuel maps aren't designed for large turbos @ 1bar thus lack of fuel = lean.

    • I like they don't raise their hands into the air when they shift their sequential boxes, seems to be a thing here in Australia lol...
    • I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.   
    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
