installed mine today and holy crap! what a difference! when boost comes on it hits hard and holds..

it peeks on 13 and drops and holds on 12.. but id rather it be on 11.... (its already all the way out....)

but overall im very impressed with it! will be recommending it to others :D

done a dyno test with the boost controller few days ago, thought i'd put it up

the best out of the power runs, i disconnected the factory solenoid and put the standard restrictor back, decided to keep the system simple in the end

starting from 2400rpm, full boost of 11psi was achieved, it held til 6000 rpm then it dropped to 9.8 psi eventually

no boost spikes, the power curve was great, max was 182.7 rwkw

factory setting with solenoid connected generated an ok curve but the max power was 160.8 rwkw

with the dual stage setting, the car pinged a little, so i ditched the dual stage setting in the end

it was done in a pretty warm afternoon, with vortex in my fuel tank (not 98, as i was too desperate for petrol and that caltex i went to didn't have vortex98), results might have been even better if a 98 octane fuel was used

with the safc, i used the second file in all three power runs which was 0 fuel adjustment. ie. not tuned

the only other mod that the car's got is just full exhaust with factory dump

25-30 dollars for a 22 rwkw gain..

I sent an email the other day [29th aug] to Mark about to purchasing a boost controller, I haven't heard back as yet. My controller [ turbo smart]spikes up to 15psi then drops back to 10psi. Seems like everybody is happy with these ones from Mark

Hi Guys!

I'm a first time poster/long time reader of SAU. (mainly because i drive a 180 :D ) But thought i had to post in regard to this product.

I bought my TurboTech a while ago now, and it was sitting around until the other day when i finally got off my ass and decided to install it.

took off the old bleed valve, and straight swapped it with the TurboTech.

an absolute piece of cake to install!

then i decided to take it for a drive, and WOW! :O what an amazing difference!

Boost comes on earlier, is 1000x smoother, and holds right on 10psi right through the range!

Thank you very much for an extermly well engineered product Mark! You've done a top job! so keep them comming :(

Anyway, all the best to everyone here and have a nice day!

are you having difficulties contacting him? have you paid and if so when?

Just having difficulties getting him. I have emailed a number of times and no reply.He may be on holidays or busy. No I have sent any money . It seems everybody is very happy with the controller

Did you hear from him yet?

He replied to me on the  3rd , and i didnt send him an email till after you. Maybe you sent it to the wrong email or something?

Its [email protected].

No reply as yet. Emailed the right address. I sent one on the 29/08 and one on the 1/09. also thought he might read the forum and get in touch that way. Ah well i will try again next week

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • 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.
