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

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
