i'd be interested to see this too. i've been doing a 2 hour commute to work on the freeway the past few weeks - RS4S - it is one of the hardest cars to maintain constant speed!

looks interesting, its electronic too

some ppl said that vac operated ones won't work as well due to coming onto boost and the unit needing vac to keep the throttle open

Yeah I think electronic would be the go. Having said that, there are turbo cars that have vacuum setups. I know for sure that the 300zx tt had a vacuum setup. Keen to see how people with stags have built it into the dash.

i had a r31 skyline - it was an auto n/a from factory, i manualised it and turboed the RB30 - the vaccum controlled cruise control never missed a beat, it was as good as it ever was with the auto.

I think a DIY install is a bit risky - it's not the kind of device you'd want stuffing up on you because you wired it up or installed it incorrectly. I'm sure Chris Rogers will go into more detail in that regard when he sees this...

Anyway, CC is something I'd like to have done as well. I know Duncan has got it on his Stagea, and the thread is HERE

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
