Must have been overnight from Japan ;)

Straight from Nissan. They'll tell you it's overnight, but in reality it will take 4-5 weeks for your new boost to arrive. OEM boost though, it's worth the wait. Much higher quality than aftermarket boost.

careful with ebay, its probably made in china. not all boost is the same, chinese air is inferior to japanese air

This.

Personally I would never buy boost on ebay, chances are it's poor quality. Chinese boost is made in low-altitude factories, so it comes out much poorer than the stuff from the high-altitude factories in Japan. America has been releasing some good boost lately as well though, so could be a good time to upgrade your boost to some aftermarket American boost. Just be prepared to wait for it, America are slower than Japan when it comes to exporting boost.

And Australian Air is about to be the worlds most superior AIR with the Carbon Tax going through.......

Is this like where u pretend to ask a question for someone but that someone is really u? Nathanau is ur friend really you? Don't be shy now

hahahahaha usually people ask a question and pretend its for a "friend" because they are embarrassed to ask for them self. I see no reason to be embarrassed asking about boost? unless im missing sumfin, Mebbie i should given its an XR6 FORD hahahaah which i personally hate fords but as for cars there ok i guess, id just never own one.

I wont dirve anything but Skylines or some Italian cars :) , soon to be a GTR 34 or 35 with some clever financial accounting ( yay) and upward from there :)

Anyhows back to my mate who added Boost to his XR6 Ford...... After they installed it, apparently the car ran well on 10psi till it blew out one of the plastic pipes, so they turned off the boost. He has ordered metal pipes for the factory intercooler which get fitted today. He has also ordered an upgraded exhaust. AS for the ECU .... apparently the car runs well using the aftermarket boost so can only assume that whoever owned the car prior has had the ECU tuned ? or whatever was required to make it accept the aftermarket boost. Once he puts his new pipes in, he is going to run it on 10 PSI. I am still unsure how it will turn out after he uses the car over time. BUT in terms of technicalities so far " kinda all good" ....

You're mate still got aftermarket boost for his xr6. Shit son. Now they turned the boost off. I wonder if the aftermarket boost comes with a 12 month warranty? Do you know?

Im guessing his boost controller has a warranty but i doubt that would cover any damage the controller might cause with a backyard install job. If a mechanic did it, it would probably be covered in total.
