Boost Controllers

[webng]

Anyone know the longevity of the turbotech? Seeing the spring is under constant pressure when on boost, will it's 'springyness' lessen over time with heat, etc? Is it going to be something we need to replace every few years?

my point was that a turbotech is far from shit. its quite good, and if you had to rate it in terms of effectiveness, ease of use, and price, it would come on top.

if you're not concerned about price, there are other more expensive options for arguably better results. but this comes very very close ...for only $30!!!

I just got mine today. I reckon the spring will last a while, but because it's such a cheap ($30) valve if the boost gauge tells you that it can't hold boost consistently after it's been used heaps i'd just buy another one or upgrade to an EBC. If you really wanted to keep it but it was playing up i'd go scouring for another spring

Yeah i installed the turbotech on my R33 yesterday. Damn its great! I didn't realise how much power the car had hidden away! It's easy to install and adjust, and yes it does spike a little but i countered that by keeping it at a little lower boost than i wanted. It's running about 10-11psi now and it's great power. The nose lifts under throttle and never used to.

I'm gonna post a thread explaining how to install one, for the few guys i've seen asking how its done (like i did to begin with)
