Hey guys !!

I've tried to contact Mark to order two controllers through that indicated email address => No response!!!

I've check on e-bay => Non items like that (Turbotech and JRD boost controllers) were shown !!

Anyone know where they are now??

Anyway, there's another simple bleed unit called " FLYING HYPER BOOST CONTROLLER" selling for $19.99 Is it as good as the turbotech and Jrd boost controllers we are talking about???

Cheers!!

Hi Guys

Re: TURBOTECH

I packed up the computer for what was only supposed to be a few days for renovations that turned into nearly two weeks!! Everything was packed into one storage area.

They are back on ebay and or can be ordered direct for $35 delivered. If you are wanting the SAU discount please dont purchase one from the ebay listing and then ask for a discount as those listing charge a hefty listing fee.

A few people have attacked me on this forum regarding not returning emails or other delays.

A few points to consider:

I work full time

I have family commitments

I have to make all these controllers

I have to keep up with dozens and dozens of emails.

I only respond to emails out of nessecity for time reasons. Every morning there are about a dozen emails and when I get home it has often tripled. It is like a runaway train that is hard to stop.

If I have, for instance, a delay from a suplier it can often delay mail outs..

I really only keep making them as you guys keep wanting them and believe me at the price I do it for ($35 delivered) and the cost involved (parts and time) the hours spent reading emails and making the controllers it is not exactly a super profit exercise.

So its hard to take when numbskulls use this forum to attack my service when they should go to thier rooms and have a good cry instead of on here.

I do it really for the pleasure of knowing I can google my own product and know that they are now in over 2500 cars!! Thats inspiration in itself not the few cents I make on them.

So to those boof heads that have a sook about not getting 7 emails at every stage of manufacturing the controller- you can eat my shorts and live a day in my shows while I piss myself laughing at you going crazy!

Pehaps we should start a thread for whingers :nyaanyaa:

And, to those who are patient and reasonable... I hope you love the buzz you get when boosting with a turbotech!

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

Well put, I understand exactly how you feel. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the 200+ I've sold as well as the 2500+ other car that we all appreciate the work put into these.

Regards,

Sam

lol i don't believe people are whinging.

Its $35 FFS!!!

I have bought about 4 - 5 from Mark and they are an excellent product.

Worth way way more than $35 and i can understand the time and trouble involved in keeping up with such a large quantity.

Give the guy a break!

i agree with what mark is saying 50% but mark for you to come out here and call your customers whingers is not good for business. These are people that are buying your products and supporting you, if you can't handel the heat get out of it and continue with your full time job.

You will learn that customer service is the no1 priority, therefore you should treat your customers with respect, take it from me the only reason i went to JRD was because you would not reply after 6 emails and it was over a period of 3 weeks, now i call this bad customer service, all you had to do is spend 1 minute and reply and advise me that you will attend to my email in the next week or so.

So don't blast us your customers for your troubles, if you can't keep up the pace slow down where it's manageable.

My 2 cents worth

Has anyone else had issues with a boost spike to over 12psi even with the screw barely tightened? Could this be caused by the ball bearing not being seated correctly?

Hi mrgilly,

Boost spike with a gated controller such as the Turbotech is unlikely to be caused by the controller in itself. keep in mind that there are many factors relating to the usage of boost and it differs from car to car.

Boost spike most definately will not be cause by a ball bearing not seating nicely.

In fact, if the ball is not seating tightly it will be hard to get high boost levels as it wont hold back the pressure very well. Boost spiking tends to be related to other car components and it is exaggerated differently between different controllers. advice that I have been given is that spike is very often related to modifications done willy nilly without expert computer and dyno assistance in the planning.

:(

>_<

Thanks for that.

The only mod on my r34 otherwise is a cat-back exhaust...

Are there any other common causes to this i.e. stock parts needing replacement etc? Is it likely my stock boost gauge is just cactus?

Dude, if you don't want one don't buy one. Whinging isn't going to impress anyone and Mark certainly doesn't car.ha ha ha ha ha :laughing-smiley-014:

Power to the consumer???? Yes you have, so use it and don't his product

Mine works really well......had to wait over 3 weeks for it but so what- thanks Mark

Is there a guide how to fit these without having to read through 52 pages?

here are the three that make the most sence, made by others in this thread.

I actually read all 26 pages (40 post per page) and it is very interesting read actually.

Anyway here are what I found:

It's by no means hard, if you know what you are looking at :D

Why did you have to wait 3 weeks?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
