R32 DORI DORI Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Turbosmart Boost Tee, set it up inside your engine bay so you cant touch it without pulling over and popping your bonnet. Had a friend run through 3 engines because he had it in cabin and could just wind it up at any time. Given it was a Turbo Holden V6 but still...3 engines gone.

JonnoHR31 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 stock turbo you cant go past the turbotech. a spike in the midrange isnt gonna hurt the turbo, all that matters if that your boost up around 6-7000rpm isnt much more than 12psi if you have a bigger turbo i'd recommend a profec b II, they seam a bit shitty at first and not so great to use but its very good at controlling boost Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310356-boostin/#findComment-5113304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 you could just replace the wastegate actuator with an aftermarket one and run constant higher boost if that's all you want to achieve. much safer, and undefectable. i mean, who are we kidding, you're gonna wind up the boost, get it tuned to that boost level to make max power, and then forget about it until you get pulled over and dicked for having a boost controller that's bright pink or whatever lebo colours they come in these days.

GTScotT Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 boost tee, avcr/profec (preference), eboost2 that order the AVCR is friendlier than the profec, profec has the added feature of gate full closed to X boost, helps with spool.

R31Nismoid Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I herd it's dangerous to run a manual boost tee as for boost spike Well gossip in the tea room never helped anyone. I ran had around 10psi bleeding through a manual valve, 370rwkw/24psi... there is no issue if correctly done. That is a fact. IMO you probably don't even need one.

Cam84 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm running a HDI EBC-R, had it in 2 weeks going fine. just running 10psi seems to hold ok.
