Are you taking the piss or is this for real?

If you aren't then I suggest you find a gearhead in your area who is approachable and ask for help. Maybe a carton of piss in exchange for some knowledge.

It's as easy as the manual says. Cut the wastegate actuator line and insert boost controller. Then set the boost using an aftermarket boost gauge, not the stocker. Don't go beyond 12psi.

If you don't get it yet, ask for help or pay for professional work before you kill the car.

Be careful with the GFB boost controller. They do all the bad stuff. Spike, creep etc. So if u set it to 10 and goes to 13+ your turbo can blow up due to the rear wheel being ceramic. Rather get a ball and spring valve of ebay for like 35$.

aw sheesh, i bought one not long ago! are they THAT bad?

not going into the "Pneumatic" Vs Non Pneumatic needle design but i ran a GFB boost controller for around 8 months with no worries at all. never had spiking issues nor creep.

both will do the job. Just dont mess round with the turbo tech too much and loose the ball bearing.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
