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

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
