hey .. just in regards to your comment on restriction

did you take out the restrictor in the factory rubber tubing that connects to teh boost t?

I did ( as per instructions ) so maybe give that a go !

OK, obviously this needs clearing up.....

The boost controller isn't a Turbotech.

It's a JRD.

It is made up of a very standard Tee-piece, and two unions for the hoses, a ball bearing, a spring , bolt & lock-nut.

on initial install (incidentally done at a tuning centre), I knew that it was high boosting as soon as I left.

I got home (5 mins away) and started backing off the bolt. After a few runs around the block I had the bolt right out to the last threads. It was still about the same. I didn't have time to play with it further, and decided to do it at the track.

I did 2 or 3 runs at the drag strip (about 1 hour after the install). It was max boosting & cutting. I removed the ball and spring...... so anyone at this point would expect the car to return to standard boost mode.

No, it was still boosting..... after looking at the holes in the unions, I found that they are about 2mm in dia, the Factory pipes are about 4-5mm. That is one big restriction on its own. Obviously far too much for my S2.

The hoses were a loose fit and required tightening with hose clamps a fair way. (this should have warned us).

So as I see it the controller, controls nothing. It is poorly researched and needs a larger inlet and outlet hole.

I am not disputing that the idea is solid but it sure didn't work on mine.

I may look at either replacement, or modifying it. But one thing is very clear to me and that it that the flow needs to be unrestricted initally, so that it can be restricted gradually and thereby giving the control that the item claims to be able to do. This item controls nothing, it is a restrictor and that is all.

I have to written to the seller. I'll post up the resolution.

its a bit more than $15 if you want to race.... $40 + fuel, and there's no point going every week unless you do something every week to get a quicker time.

PS. kylie has taken her stag down the plex before you even owned one mate, and no need for the smart ass comments either.

Chuckie I wasn't being negative, I was merely stating my reason for not attending,

and... err... ummm... you have met us both (time before last) Mitchy was racing his leggy and I introduced myself to you and Carl.

Anyways, I've raced my wagon, and although I'd like to see what she does now with a few tweaks here and there, I wont go down in a black car in 40 degree heat!

I'd rather it cooler any day! Least you can chuck a jumper on...
