Turbosmart Boost Tee Vs Turbtech

[donut_kng]

I have been looking a the Turbotech boost controller for $30 off Ebay and the Turbosmart Boost Tee for about $100, basically Im unsure which is the go as both these producers claim the same qualities such as quicker spool, better response at low rpm, etc, etc.

Is there any real reason to justify the $70 price difference between these 2, has anyone had experieneces with either or both, good things/bad things? The thread "I found a good cheap boost controller for $22" says alot about the Turbotech but is the Turbosmart just as good or any better?

TURBO TECH ~ the best MBC out on the market , stand corrected..... amazing spool.. all the others are BS . go turbo tech , you wont be dissapointed

it's true. the turbo tech wont let u down. cheap, reliable, and simple. cant go wrong.

Fair enough, and I have been hearing of some with the hole and without the hole? Have you guys found it to affect it at all??

Yep turbosmart one sucks, mine lasted 6 months and now have a GFB which is better but is soon to be replaced with a Greddy Profec B spec 2.

If I wasn't going for a EBC, would have gone the Turbotech, heard such good reports about them.

Have a read of this thread. The last few pages has alot of discussion on hole vs no hole.

either way, this is by far the cheapest and most effective manual boost controller.

if your getting a fumble on boost , you will need to drill a 1.5 mm hole , to release air so it doesnt get stuck between the waistgate actuator. some of them had like a 08. mm hole , some dont . if your experience troubles make it bigger . also there is a possibility you will need to regap your spark plugs if your getting a missfire , and also check your coilpacks for cracks.

I had a turbotech controller and it was great, worked fine (I did get some boost dropping off over 6000rpm but I think that was due to the the restrictive front pipe and cat). The only reason I removed the turbotech controller is that I was given a ProfecB Spec2. The turbotech controller is being passed on to my mates apprentice

Yeh thats my only concern, can you show me on a pic or explain where the hole should go?

[tek_01]

the hole goes directly opposite the barb not the barb opposite the screw end, the other one.. there is only one place you can drill that is a part of the body that is opposite the barb. I emailed the guy and asked that question. i drilled a 1mm and he said thats fine as long as it aint bigger than 1.5 mm as thats what he uses

mine was crappy after gear changes but fixed with that hole. as other have said best 30 bucks spent

I heard the new boost tee (not the old bleed tap style) is basically a rip off of the turbo tech ... so basically the same thing but probally better engineered.

I've also heard that the turbosmart product is much easier to adjust ... a step by step locking adjustment style ... rather than a screw and a lock nut which is hard to adjust ... once adjusted though they should both work equally well.

If it was me id buy the turbosmart one as you most probally are going to get better support and product

Just buy the Turbotech one, or spend even more and get an EBC. No point spending $100 on a MBC when the Turbotech works so well. I had one up until recently and it worked perfectly.
