So what's this about manual boost control vs boost tee? Considering reducing the richness of the Gloria... (by adding boost)

Knowing Nissan ECU's, it'll compensate for the increase in boost by throwing even more fuel in. Are there tunable options for the gloria? Nistune / PowerFC etc?

Boost tee / bleed valve is a manual boost controller, just a very simple/cheap one shaped like a T. You used to be able to get one by TurboTech(?) for $25 that would allow a couple extra PSI on a stock ecu vehicle and hold it very well. Bargain performance upgrade on most turbo imports from the 90s.

Until you hit rich and retard and then drive along like you've lost a few cylinders ?

I think the golf has an electronic waste gate actuator. So the ecu can tell the flap how much and when to open independently of boost.

I notice the bargain 32R for sale thread disappeared from the classified section...guessing the new owner wants to resell it without people knowing what it originally went for ?

Yeah youre probably right

Piggyback or full race car standalone with 90% of electrics not working seem to be the two options haha. Like M35, im curious at the locally made M35 modded ECUs, but dont seem to hear much about development anymore. Scotty gone AWOL from sau too

If i did try a boost tee, i would put it on a dyno probably with cms. If he cant get it going well, maybe his russian contacts can develop something. They managed to make tunes for the latest Nissan cube, which was supposed to be untunable

When it comes to cars, I love America

They just did drag week if you want to check out some of what Americans call "Street" cars. 5 of them ran reliable 6 second 1/4 mile passes @ 200-219mph.

An guy put a 3000hp billet water jacketed funny car setup in a 57 wagon of some sort and took that to it, they would pull the belt off the Supercharger and tie a breaker bar on the snout to stop it turning, remove the manifolds blast plate and install a throttle body there for a 2nd ecu to run the car on the street. They had some issues with it though.

Now THATs an investment. Signed by Pol Wolker himself. Owned by Frankie Muniz apparently....

It's actually a pretty cool looking car, if it had smaller wheels and more low
