got my Turbotech, all in under a week.

put it in, no joke only took me 2 adjustments and its now holding at 10psi perfectly.! boost shoots up like a switch and just freezes on 10!

1st gear is a waste now since the revs shoot up so quick im only in 1st for about 1 second!

Best mod for under $50 EASY

He must be busy as. Never spoke to the guy, never replied to my emails. But paid him and the thing was at my door within a couple of days. Cant complain. smooth

Edited by aym23q
so theres now 2 people selling them hey?

which link to ebay is the best one which most people have used to purchase this?

cheers,

chriso

I got mine from Mark...great service...mine was lost in the mail and he sent another no questions asked! I installed it today and dispite not reading which way to turn the screw...heheh 1 bar was a bit much! but once I sused it out it held its boost perfect and 0.7 bar.....works great and seriously took about 5min to install...for $30 have to get 1...its a must have mod!

Installed mine today and have been testing for about 2 hours :thumbsup:

I just can't get the boost down on it, it's currently pushing around 12 psi at about 90% throttle.

I've got the bolt in just enough so that I can see the spring only just move through the little hole.

I'm after about 9 psi.

I thought it could be a leak as the tube connections weren't so great so I used some zip ties and they're tight as now.

Heres some pics, does everything look okay? It's a 34.

One of the lines going into the solenoid goes to what I think is the BoV line, the other is blocked off with a screw.

The connection on the bottom of the controller goes to the nipple coming out of pipe that leads from the turbo to the intercooler.

The connection on the side of the controller goes to the wastegate actuator.

As far as I can tell it's all setup correctly, it just doesn't let the wastegate see enough pressure.

In the line coming from the turbo there is a brass fitting inside the tube, starting to wonder if this could be dropping pressure.

will this help you

dude just email him at [email protected] ? think that was it. just say how much for a thing and hell say x, this will be your number . i eamiled him there he replied through another persona "simark" but yeah he got it said 35 delivered and i sent money and email that was it. answered my first email but not the rest, but who cares unless something went wrong, seemed safe enough to me gave me a order number and everything

zappn where does the hose on the top nipple of the boost solenoid go? looks like that could be it to me cant really see but maybe its set up wrong. the hose from the opposite end of the controller to the screw should go straight to the intake after the turbo somewhere..like a cooler pipe or something, the side hose goes to the wastegate. follow the lines and make sure thats whats happenin my rb25 holds at 7psi atm as clutch is cooked, so 12 is a bit much. maybe neo is different the setup looks similar though

Oh dear ... I just lost the spring into my engine bay!! The ball bearing didnt get to far, but I searched everywhere for the spring and I cannot find it :) Any way of getting a replacement spring or am i just going to have to fork out again for another unit?

Wow, im a dumbass :ermm:

^^^ Just try to get a generic spring.

Length: it should be enough to hold the ball in place without too much preload while knob is out most of the way.

Stiffness: Nothing too stiff if you are running standard boost or a little above.

That is my opinion anyway. I am not liable for anything that may go wrong as a result of this.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
