by the looks of things, the turbotech should shit all over any other manual type

dude... your saying it will and now your saying it wont... i say make your mind up

oh yep, in that case yea i would pay an extra $200 for the added midrange (over a bleed valve, never driven a car with turbotech restricter type)

there are other benefits which people like with the ebc over a manual one

LOL but in the other post you said it wont damage it, or "could" damage it.. now your explaining exactly how it WILL damage it so the conclusion of blocking a standard 33/34 turbo will damage the turbo... correct?

i think it depends on the boost your running n stuff but saying it wont damage your turbo is a bit of an understatement, especially the ceramic/ plastic wheeled ones

why don't you just stop the standard bov leaking and leave everything the way its meant to be, bov's and flutter just mean more unwanted attention which at the end of the day will cost you more in $$ with the cops when they start defecting you (not to mention the wank factor) or just buy the GTR bov and fit that like everyone else has said, people on here don't come on just to hang shit on everyone (dunno bout everyone but meh..) and you ask for answers and people have given you the right answers... the best thing about SAU is that no matter what your question is, someone else has already been through the same thing, they are talking from experience, f**k the atmo bov off, don't block your bov cos you'll end up with the back of stock turbo in your muffler

the best thing about it is that it fits in the standard position and looks "standard" these days you wana hide your gear not flaunt it but everyone's different i suppose

have you thaught about the hks gt-rs kit?

ahhh yep... is it a bolt on kit for hte rb25det?

would this turbo be very different to the garrett GT2540?

yea that is really different in that case, never sussed them out because i just baught an EBC after all the spiking and shit the GFB one gave me... yea the GFB is just a bleeder abu, i found it to be garbage to be honest maybe the extra features the ebc has given me wont let me go back to a manual boost controller

i notice a really big difference between my bleed valve and the ebc i've got maybe the turbotech is very different compared to the GFB bleed valve i had

great answer there mate... so what about the ebc coming on boost faster than the turbotech... or is that not true?

so when do you "really" need one? the way i've come across your posts is that you never need one because if you were able to hold 25psi so then why would anyone need one?

its true, but there are other ebc's out there that do the job for instance, i had one of those $80 GFB bleed valves, it was great at the start, got it tuned with the safc and the boost wasn't steady at all on 12psi, it would creep and taper off all this crap... the tuner said "if you want a steady curve that doesn't taper off at the end get an EBC" so next step was for the EBC, i found the Hybrid one for $250 delivered, the solenoid is the same as the turbosmart and the avcr's i fitted that and the GFB one i got rid of, never went back to a bleed valve again... the turbotech ones seem different to bleed valves so who knows it might work just as well for the price but no one has answered my question in post #9, does it come on boost as hard and fast as a ebc? and does it hold better than an ebc thats set up correctly? at the end of the day your right its personal choice and now i would not piss on bleed valve or a manual boost controller

oh well... i know what i'd be buying

or that

try tighten the belts if you can

cool... so what are you personal experiences with a bleed valve vs an ebc?

you'll learn that statement one day

it doesn't really matter if its stock or not, its how it comes on boost and how it holds the boost if your not wanting to mod a lot on your car just go the turbotech, enough people have vouched for it but you'll end up wanting an EBC if you ever drive a car like yours with one it in, i know i did

does anyone find that below 24-25 deg it stops clicking?

so everyone who runs these turbotech boost controllers don't get spiking? and it comes on boost harder and faster than a ebc?

just remember you get what you paid for
