To Be A Wanker, Or Not To Be A Wanker

[DjeMz]

ok, so i have a hks2535..

do i keep on adjusting my boost via the adjustable actuator (will annoy me after a while) - i know its better to keep the wategate shut for as long as possible yada yada

or

lower actuator to lowest + install the turbo tech i got sitting here

or

lower actuator to lowest + be a wanker and have a cool hi/low switch for daily driving then 'spirited' (as u sau gents call it) driving?

winter is approaching, dont think i need 18psi to do wat i do, rather keep it low and give the thing a easier workload for a bit.

i already have all the above parts next to me, i just started my apprenticeship so things like profec b are not an option right now as id rather make-do with the above suggestions...

any ideas?

Why would you need to keep adjusting the actuator?

Set and forget, control the boost with the right foot

All problems solved.

thats the thing, sick of feathering the throttle....

Fit the 30 buck turbotech... Fit it in the cabin if you really need to tweak the boost a lot. Cheap as bruv

just dont mash it to the floor all the time.

I ran 24psi/350rwkw for ages, never really had a problem or needed to turn the boost down.

Even daily driving @ 270rwkw/17psi, 65-75% throttle = no problem easily.

do you have a digital or analogue foot?

[R31Nismoid]

I have one that doesnt "twitch" if that counts?

Lucky its my right one, all that feathering i did...

its hard to drive my car on lower boost withous causing massive compressor surge, sounds like a rocket apparently... and not good for the turbo

[limpus]

Work with what you have...

Just use the turbotech to raise your boost to the desired level while using the adjustable actuator to control spiking or increase response...

I run the exact same setup with the same turbo on my rb20...works a treat...

so anyone want a turbosmart duel stage lol?

turbo tech it is
