Manual boost controller

[SeanR32GtSt]

I’m looking at putting a manual boost controller in my car to up my gtst to 14 psi after the Nistune is installed. Which ones have of y’all chosen?

I built my own, to the same design as the Autospeed one from 20 years ago.  In fact, that's when I built it.  It was great....for a manual boost controller.  Better than your typical "boost tee" which is what you're talking about.  I replaced it with a 2nd hand Profec and have never looked back.  10 x better again.

How difficult was it for you to gain access to the wastegate hose?

0 out of 10 difficult level. Have you looked at your turbo before?

I see there’s not much slack in the hose to T off of

Yeah but you can order more hose online from a guy in Russia that sells it, think his name is Cyka Blyat.

 

Or get it from...anywhere ...

you don't have to keep THAT piece of hose, in factbetter to replace old hose.

Good call there. Now it’s a matter of choosing which controller.

Just cut the wastegate line like a boss

I generally use turbosmart boost t for ease of use. Turbotek make an awesome one but it is a pain in the ass to set

+1 Turbotech

I never had any issues setting it

They are just more touchy to set than say a turbosmart one. Depends on how finicky you are. But dam good and lower cost
