interesting to see how you guys stress over the possibillity of loosing $22, explains why you are buying these valves.

i bought on saturday, being easter weekend probaly why its not here yet :D wen i bought one last december it was liek 3-4 days it was at my door.. hope i get it tomo ready for weekend!

HI everyone,

Mark from Turbotech...

As a few of you have noted I have been hard to contact lately...

A few of you know the reason but most don't...

Not only do I work full time I have had serious health issues with my unborn child and as such had been spending vast amounts of time in Melbourne as well as doing my job and trying to do what I can with the Turbotech..

On many occasions I have arrived home at midnight or later and had to take care of emails and such and at these times I have responded only to emails that needed a response...and posting was often delayed as well.....

All seems to be on the mend now and business is as usual... I still make the high quality original controller...

I hear some speak of the JRD and it's quality. I cant say exactly, however, it appears that they have purchased one of mine and then set about making it themselves for a few extra dollars... what an honourable way to make a few bucks... at least ebay sales have not slowed at all.

Might I remind readers that this forum discussion relates to the Turbotech and no other.

As most buyers can attest to, I take particular care to make each controller to a very high standard and back up with after sales also.... as those who have lost spring, bolts, ball etc can bear witness to this. I also send items via trackable express at no extra cost.

My apologies for my recent low profile and thanks to those loyal to myself and my product.

Due to magazine editors following this product's success... it has appeared in 'Drift Battle" and will soon be in 'Fast Fours' as well.. It's reputaion is largely due to the positive discussion in this forum and for that I thank everyone who have contributed their support.

Many regards,

Mark

[email protected] for sales and service.

Mark,

Sorry to hear about your child and I hope everything is ok..

Also keep up the good work, everyone appreciates what you do as you have produced an amazing product.. And as you have seen from 44 pages - still has a huge interest

As for the copies, i'm hoping you have patented the design and can look at legal action if you start to suffer too much..

Keep it up, mines still going strong and makes the car even better..

Cheers

i wasnt WORRIED, was just curious to know when it would be arriving

mark has replied to me, and if the post office has their act together it should be here today

I wanted to get the real deal, not some JRDsports knock off and Mark did reply pretty quickly to my initial email which resulted in the sale :D

Mark I am VERY relieved to hear everything is ok with your unborn baby! I completely understand what a scare it can be as when my wife was pregnent last summer, they found an absess on our baby. We were extremely worried but it turned out to be ok as it dissapeared in a week or so. I hope everything continues to be just fine and let us all know when the baby is born, the sex, weight and of course the name. :(

Well installed the controller last week and added a 1/4 turn to the setting it arrived with. WOW WHAT A DIFF! :bunny::D:D Throttle response is greatly improved, boost comes on sooner by approx 600-800rpm's, boost is held constant and does'nt fall in the higher rpm's and overall, yeah my car is loving it! I'm not to sure what the exact level I am running as I have'nt installed my boost gauge and only have the stock one but I'm sure it's around 10psi and the car seems to be reacting wonderfully to the added power.

Talk about nice and easy too. I simply installed it in the wastegate accuator hose and that was it. No messin with solinoids or anything like that.

So I give this controller a 10 out of 10 so far.

Thanks again Mark for it and take care.

Cheers :)

found this, finaly a incabin type with this boost controller.

Ive got his boost controller i wonder if he will sell me the solenoid on its own with connector and missle switch.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

or get what he's selling there and ull have dual stage (ie, put ur existing controller on the "stock boost" line).

u see that pipe in the middle of that box thing, with that setup u would normally put a boost source directly there (and on the bottom of the boost controller), but if u put ur original boost controller there then u will have dual stage

i emailed jrd and he came back to me with a price of $70 for solenoid, connector, plug and missle switch.

Thats seems to be a excellent price to have a dual stage setup.

it wont be dual stage if u dont get the boost controller with it (well, unless u define dual stage as being stock + one alternative, rather than 2 alternatives and no stock boost)

Got mine today too! ;) Mark thanks for the great service! Deposited the money on Friday, cleared on Saturday and got it on Wednesday! Just need a day off to fit it... I hope it puts a smile on my face as it has for others lol I’m going to leave it at the factory setting and then see how we go seeing as i only got stock turbo and SMIC... i fit my boost gauge over the weekend and my car is currently running 9psi on stock solenoid (high boost mode) due to the split dump pipe and K&N I’m assuming... aint going to push it past 10psi... just want it to boost harder n sooner without waste gate creep...

Will keep you posted

Regards,

Sarkis

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
