So are you saying that the new design reduces lag after a gear change? I've been noticing lag on changes lately...and I dislike it a lot :)

It could probably be tuned out, but if the hole in the boost controller isn't helping, I might get the newer 1...

have you got the hole in yours?

as far as i know, the hole should actually reduce lag on gear changes.

i'm feeling the lag too, but mine has no hole. i might put one in it.

Hey guys i was mucking around with my controller and i took the screw out and the ball and screw came out.

When i put it back together, does the ball bearing go in first then the spring, then the screw? or other way around?

cheers

ball, spring then tap

so these are standing the test of time.. no one has had no big problems with them as they age?

i set mine, and left it. hasnt deviated or played up at all. pretty damn good for the price.

sorry i havent read all 64 pages before maybe the first 10 or so but didnt find the answer. so just a few quick q's if anyone can help

1 - are these still available ?

2 - are they a boost controller that gets rid of the original solenoid in the r33 so u can run whatever boost your car is capable of?? (sorry 1st turbo car so not 100% familiar with the system)

thanks

the r32 guys run more boost, but as far as i've always known, 12psi is the limit on the R33 turbo...anymore is pushing it further than you may want to....and not sure they make any power past 12psi anyway...where's paul when you need him

Just for some more feedback,

I have scince bought a new car and ordered another one of these, the new one does not have a hole. In the process of tuning the car I was monitoring the boost.

I am running a sliding performance RB25 hiflow turbo on an RB20 pushing 230rwkw. The boost controller was set to 17psi. The controller held boost so well it looked like a flat line. it was as good as the EBC that came on the car when I bought it. Infact I took off the EBC and sold it for $350 as the turbotech did the same job for $30 and could be hidden in the enginge bay and there is no solanoid or electronics to fail.

Gotta love it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
