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?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
