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,

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?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
