Guys this little gadget is the KICK my GTT needed!!!

Car feels so much quicker and just kicks in boost as soon as u touch the accelelator!

Winds up very nicely and holds the boost hard.

I'm not too mechanically wise but as a driver, I can feel the difference and its only been set to around +-9 PSI from first go.

As you can see... clear winner under my bonnet... and it took only about 5 minutes to install... mainly because my hoses were there already connected to the Profec EBC unit thing so it was clear from there what to do.

Also, I payed on Friday, got it today (tuesday). Pretty much next day delivery!

Thanks SidMark!

36 pages is well deserved for such a cheap, simple, effective product! Like Alien said... i've set mine to 7psi (no mods) instead of doing the solanoid trick, and because it is not a bleed system, it winds on boost so much quicker than before!

I boost at about 2200rpm at 7psi, and the stock setup would boost at 3000rpm at 5psi (dual stage stuff).

i bought one off ebay a few days ago but it wasn't the turbotech, looks exactly the same.

this thing is the best $30 performance mod i have made, my car was running the GFB unit and it worked s__t spiking all over the place. after i installed it my car held boost to 18psi like an EBC im just wrapped with it and it boosted so much faster than i expected about 2200 rpm.

Should be taking to track soon.

Heh.. it's not a Turbo-smart... This guy makes all these on his own! I beleive he goes over it and checks the mechanism before sending it out, so i'd expect that he's probably a bit swamped making and sending them while working his other full-time job. =-]

i bought one a couple of months ago but only just got around to putting it in. I still have to make a few changes but the one trouble i have is that it is overboosting really bad...

I put my foot down and it will go up 13 - 15psi then drop down and hold at around 9 1/2psi

I have checked the lines and they are about as short as i can make them with very little angle to any of them ??? any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers Leigh

A mob called JRD have copied the design and are flogging them of $5 cheaper than marks.

It says something about the quality of the design if there are already cheaper knock off's floating around

Hey guys,

Has anyone heard from Mark lately? I brought a unit from him two days ago, emailed him twice and have heard nothing.. I need the unit by tomorrow as the car is going to the mechanics for a variety of other things and i wanted to get it all done.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
