a question i have an external gate now it has 2 nipples on it now i just got one of these boost controllers  and i know it has to go some where so where and what nipple does it go on

bottom at the moment is connected to the inlet manifold so do i tee into that line with the boost tap the run the line from the tap to the top of the waste gate???

You have to run boost pressure to the top & your regulated boost pressure to the bottom. seems like you have spent some money, why would you risk it with a $22 boost controller?

These controllers may be cheaper than the one sold at performance shops but are made properly adn indicdually unlike mass produced items mad cheap and sold at high prices.

Hi

I have three (3) payments for boost controllers with no reference number.

If you purchased one and did not include the ref number I gave you I can not send your item as I dont know who made the payment. emailng me to say you made a payment is not enough.

If this is you you must make contact with me and tell me what you did put in the reference line or if you wrote nothing, I need your bsb number.

Thanks,

Mark

Mine arrived on Friday, thanks for looking after us Mark.

Now just to install it....

Whacked mine in.

240rwkw R33, was running 15psi though a GFB Bleed Valve.

Pulled bleed valve out, put new valve in. Same spot, same pipes.

Found the right boost level and tested.

Boost does NOT spike 1 bit. Flies up to 15psi and then stops dead. Not one bit at all. However, rather than dropping off as I approach redline it is creaping up by about 1psi, so it effectively goes from 15psi up to 16psi. However I'm pretty sure the GFB was doing that to me as well anyway.

Overall. This item is a lot better than your average bleed valve. There is no reason to have a bleed valve when you can use this better item for far cheaper. The only convenience a bleed valve has is an easier adjustment (not so sensitive, no locker nut required).

Email sent!

Been looking for a good cheap bleeder for my turbo diesel

Hi all, I hope you are enjoying the controller.

I still have payments from people who have not used the reference number I gave out. I don't know who they are from so can't send your item :confused: . If you wrote something other than the ref number pleae email me or you wont receive anything.

This is the third time I have posted about this so don't sook if a controller isn't in your mail box.

Cheers all

Is it normal to have an "exit" hole on the metal control thing (with the ball bearing in it..).

I've got two tube plugs, where the bolt goes, and then on the other side there's a hole drilled into it... only about 1mm wide.. so it's tiny.

I initially thought this is normal, but now i'm not so sure.. ?? Please confirm.

[simark87]

Hi Tommy,

that small vent hole is precisely sized. Block it off it watch it spike, make it bigger feel the lag..

In other words its meant to be there

What advantages do you get over an EBC?

[TommO]

Thanks,

Well I just hooked it up... seems to boost slightly louder? Could just be me imagining things!

Defintely goes better though.. mid range is increased in my honest opinion. Before I just had a piece of copper pipe in there (to remove the standard actuator so I get over 4.5psi before 4500rpm), and damn, this ones much nicer!! I can't believe I didn't install it earlier.

Just to confirm.. what boost comes up on my boost guage is defintely what the car is running? Like my boost guage comes up as 8psi now.. it wouldn't be running more? Just I noticed one of my rubber hoses that hookes up to this boost controller has a slight split in it.. I don't think it's leaking though, as a I just moved it up the plug lots. I'm paranoid about doing damage to my car.

Cheers,

Tommo.

Have fun tommy...

I take no responsibility for speeding tickets, I do however have the coroners office on speed dial :Pimp2:

Was boosting last night and something was suss...

Was spiking up 3psi!!!

Runs 15psi but was spiking up to 18psi when boosting hard in third.

Going to test again tonight to sus this out before making a final judgement on whether or not to put my GFB Bleeder back on which spikes 1psi.

Hmmm... seemed to work fine when I first installed it...

Hi Guys, I will be offline until tuesday night in case anyone is chasing me..

Just a reminder to those who did not use a reference number when depositing for the boost controller. I still have 6 payments for which I don't know who they are from. To date, not one person has made contact about this :confused:

Cheers all

Hi Guys,

After backing off the ballslams shut. Then any pressure trapped between the wastegate and the controller is evacuated out of the bleed hole (this ELIMINATES SPIKE as there is no pressure  left trapped between the wastegate and controller that adds to the next burst of boost- causing the dreaded spike). This process also stops back pressure to the turbo which would try to slow down the turbo buy attempting to spin it in the wrong direction thus causing lag.. Result: Far less lag.

turbotech: less spike, less lag, precise boost, no bullshit!

Mark

Mark seeing as,

"This process stops back pressure to the turbo which would try to slow down the turbo by attempting to spin it in the wrong direction thus causing lag..."

does your controller also negate the need for a blow off valve (plumb-back type or otherwise)??
