R34 Boost Increase - Should I Go R32 Actuator Vs Turbotech

Hey guys I have an R34 GTT auto coupe. I've got a catback exhaust and disconnected the two stage boost control but thats it at the moment.

I have done some research on upping the boost (10psi seems the safest level) and a few people have said to install an R32 wastegate actuator as they are set at 10psi from factory. So I ordered one at it is ready to go but then my mate mentioned he has one of those $30 turbotech manual boost controllers that I can have for free (he's sold his turbo).

So what is going to give me a better result?

I want boost to come on faster and I love midrange and low end (all of which the turbotech apparently achieves) will the R32 actuator achieve this too?

The actuator will bring on strong mid range etc as the wastegate is closed for longer down low. Just don't forget, once you install it there's no going under 10psi if you wanna conserve petrol or something.

The turbotech will do a good job and be easier to install.

For the money that little contraption is great! I was thinking about removing my current avc-r and putting the turbo back on because it holds boost at 26psi where the electronic cannot because the wastegate spring is too light. OR get a bigger wastegate spring.

Turbotech rocks. Get one.

A few people have mentioned the wastegate actuator will be difficult to install - I thought you just pull off the IC piping and its a straight swap - or more complex?

What about the greddy profec spec B II ? is that better than the turbo tech ? I just want to up my boost to about 10-11psi on my stock turbo. my engine is a Rb25..

same, auto r34 with catback. got a single stage boost controller sitting here but was also thinking if the r32 actuator would be the better option...

but i like the idea of switching from stock boost to raised boost with a flick of a switch better so might just put in the controller

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
