I found a good cheap boost controller for $22!!!

[markimak]

thanks for that.. im gonna order one soon. so u drilled the hole directly opposite the other nipple?

[n0nac]

exactly as shown on page 68 where you can see the hole.

is where i drilled it.

just centre punch it and then drill it...

just make shure you dont push too hard on the 1mm drill bit lol cuz it will snap. very small thing lol

[R33silverS2]

I think its just dissapointing that for something that was once fine now you have to modify yourself, certainly not an 'improvement'. I wonder why he changed it in the first place-maybe he was tired of drilling the hole or the ones with holes in em stopped being available or something. I might drill into mine today.

agreed.

well without the hole it was a dog of a boost controler !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R33silverS2]

Ok just want ot make this clear to everyone or anyone suffering from very laggy gear changes whilst using the turbotech. If you don't have the hole - DRILL ONE!! Today I drilled a 1mm hole directly opp the feed to the wastegate as shown in the pic and it made a wolrd of difference with gear changes. Previously the car felt totally dead, flat, sloooow when selecting the next gear - now boost response is fast. As you can see i highly reccoment drilling the hole!!

did u find boost now drops off up top?

funny thing is i took the car out for a run just for comparison sake....and there was no lag.

wtf?

anyway, i've left it for now. only change i've made was my cat. maybe that had some effect.

Hmm so far so good, havent noticed any drop off as yet, but i onyl just kinda gave it a lil burn round the block - weather is dam hot here aswell so i didn't want to ring it out too much knock knock

I'll post up if i notice boost is dropping off up top.

[n0nac]

how much boost are you all running??

im runnin 14 pound and it drops to about 12 up top...

so if your running 12... maybe it doesnt drop off...

dunno :S havent tried it. weekend job

but deffinatly drill that hole lol

[R33silverS2]

I'm runnin 10lbs creeps up to 11.5 or so in higher revs then drops back down to 9 - 10 cant remember exactly. i think it goes something like 9, 10, 11, 11.5, 10 or something. so generally its around 10. i could never get my car to hold one boost level really well every since i did the exhaust, i think possibly the wastegate is too restrictive or small for the increase in flow and dump size. sigh] boost is never as simple as it should be...

[Robo's]

Drilled mine in last night (Easy, dont know why he doesnt do it), hope i didnt go to big, 1.5mm, i dont think it matters as you can adjust it anyway.

[markimak]

i had a chat to mark he assured me that they do not make much difference. the holes are for higher boost applications 18.5psi+ to bleed out extra pressure. so im in doubt what difference the hole does on lower boost. but more on topic these are great and marks customer service skills are impeccable.

Thanks,

Scott Roberts.

[markimak]

did u send an email to mark. im sure he would ahev posted to u.

[n0nac]

markimak... thats a crock... i got PROOF not word off of somone that it lags like a bitch with no hole. buy one and put it in and tell me if its laggy or not...

mind you put 12 pound thru it not 7... cuz your stocko wastegate opens at 7 and i doubt having that hold will make a shit of difference with the 7psi.

well im runnign 14 pound neways...

with NO hole = pathetic

WITH hole = fantastic (altho it drops off pressure up top but im not complaining)

[daxter]

Could it be dropping pressure at the top of the rev range due to air bleeding back out the hole that has been drilled?

Mines got no hole and it doesnt lag at all, in fact it's brilliant. Running 11.5psi.

[n0nac]

that would be my guess daxter...

well beats me.. lol. i just know without it, it is shit... with it, it is great...

just my personal results...

[Munkyb0y]

i have tried and tried to find the lag again, and its not there anymore. lol

quickshift, no prob. granny shift, still no prob, besides the obvious revs dropping out of boost range of course.

must've been the cat i had on. coz i didint have the lag issue before or after it. so no hole and still happy.

[markimak]

hmm nonac well ill be the guinea pig hows that im recieving 2 with hole and 2 with out. ill let u knw how it goes.
