would be correct in assuming that in these bloody things there is supposed to a high tencile spring anda little ball???

Cause i just pulled it apart for the first time after trying everything to get it to work and there is no flaming ball in the end of it!!!!

WTF!!!!

Yeah there's supposed to be little ball in there. Get onto mark and get him to rectify it or send you a ball or something.

The little ball rectified it. Works like everyone on her has said it would.

All is well. Onlyset to 9 at the moment. Will have a play with plugging the hole up versus having the hole and get her to about 11,12 ish and see how she goes.

Cool man. Did you get the ball off the guy you sold it off?

The whole in the boost controller, is to allow air to escape when you close the throttle.

This then allows the wastegate to close again.

Also, if your boost is dropping 5PSi, it isn't the hole doing that. That's ALOT of pressure to loose through a tiny hole.

By a 5psi drop, the spring and ball should have closed, all air should vent out, allowing the wastegate to close, and boost to climb again.

It sounds more like your turbo can't keep up.

ok fellas.

ive used 4 of marks controllers.. 2 holes and 2 non holes.. on a GTR S14 and GTT with NO dramas what so ever..

untill this morning when i put one on my 180sx.. only occassionally it spikes..

boost is set to 6psi.. first gear is normally stead might spike to 10psi.. 2nd gear normally spikes to 10+ and 3rd gear ive seen it spike to 15psi..

on the hhighway build boost in 5th it wont spike. it will mostly only spike after changing gears..

this has really got me..

i purchased this controller a few months back with my first shipment from mark and its been sitting on the table outside for 3 or so months so i might check the insides of it tomorrow.. had very limited issues with the standard solenoid.. it would go to 10.5 and fall to 9ish.. but seeing a 15pound spike is quite scary.. esspecially when the can is on closed loop mode lol...

so ill post up what i find..

ok, ive put it on my s13 now, and ive got it so it sits at 9/10psi, but when i first gun it, it hits like 13 psi and falls back and sits at desired boost level, but when it goes to round 13, it coughs and splatters.... is this boost cut or missfire or??? it blows a lil bit of smoke when it splatters, and its only for a second untill the boost goes down a bit, and why is it going up to 13 then coming down so much?

Which direction do you turn the dial to turn boost down? Clockwise/Anti-clockwise?

Boost is spiking so I want to turn down, but I can't find the original instructions that came with it.

Screw it in and get more boost.

Wind it out and get less

Hi guys,

Today I was fiddling with my controller and dropped the spring into my bloody engine bay and could not for the LIFE of me find where the FK it has gone.

Anyway provided I don't find it, does bunnings sells the same sort of spring? Anyone had issues with replacing the spring?

I need the controller working by tomorrow as Im taking my car in to get a SAFC installed and tuned and want it tuned for 12psi

Somewhere in the 1500 posts on here someone has mentioned something about a replacement spring - i remember reading it ages ago but i cant for the life of me remember roughly where.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
