Have ordered one from mark.. Will be trying it out this week when it arrives.. hopefully going to the dyno day on sat. So if i've got it by than i'll strap it on and let ppl know how it goes with and without the controller..

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 thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
