Hi Guys, I ran a search on this but couldn't find an exact answer to my question.

I've just bought a Turbosmart Boost Tee for my R34 GTT and I am curious about the installation of it.

Can it be installed so that it takes the place of the factory boost solenoid?

Or should I leave everything as is, and just fit the boost tee in the line which finally leads to the wastegate?

Also, is it recommended that the ball and spring be removed straight away, or not necessary unless I get boost spikes?

My car runs a stock turbo and I only want 10 - 12psi max. Not interested in running dual stage boost.

Thanks a lot.

As someone who didn't know much about it, it wasn't immediately apparent whether a boost tee install is exactly the same as other boost controllers.

If anyone searches this and finds this topic - I simply removed the factory boost solenoid and replaced it with the tee. It worked perfectly and after a few test runs I got the boost level adjusted properly. Boost seems to build much more quickly and at an earlier RPM now which is fantastic. Great results for the money.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
