Installing A Manual Boost Control In My R33

[Jordzz]

Hey guys.

just bought a Manual Boost controller of ebay for $30 bucks.

came with the t-piece and the controller itself.

I followed the instructions provided and ended up like this ( look at pics )

Does that look correct.

NOTE : with the T-piece's Arrow it says face toward actuator but in the little box i got it with said carefully note face t-piece away from actuator not towards as stated.

But the thing is when I listen to those instructions the car isnt boosting. but when i flick the t-piece the otherway which is what i shouldnt do it seems to work. It is silly and confusing

look at the pictures and let me know if ive done it correctly. The first one is before i touched it second one is after i attempted to install the BC.

comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers

arrow always faces actuator if it works with arrow facing actuator then its correct

the 1st pic, just cut the line and use the bleed valve between it. Keep the intake hose blocked as the 1st picture.

I suggest selling it and buying a ball bearing valve. Those bleed type controllers are not efficient at controling boost and often you'll get huge spikes.

And once you put it in rip that shit out. Those fake turbo smart controllers can't hold boost for shit. I had one lol

+1 for them being shit, and yeah what other post said cut the line going to the actuaor and cooler pipe and stick it in between.

heres the pic of the instructions for the t-piece that really confused me!

looks dodgy but sounds like they are saying what is written on the T is wrong and the Arrow should face the boost source instead.

Personally I would either get one of those $20 boost controllers, someone should know what I'm on about

Or fork out for a decent electronic boost controller if you are going to be chasing more power later on down the track.

Looking at your first set of photos, it looks like you have a in cabin adjustable boost controller perhaps? Just from the looks of it, looks like the in cabin ones, but I dunno
