[NewKleer]

well he sends express post so normally next day after he sends. problem is he often can take a while to actually send it out

[r33kid]

His service is abit slack.

[evil_weevil]

nah nah i got an email from him, said it'll be here monday or tuesday, service isnt bad !!

all good

[32thrasher]

Hi,

I just ordered the Boost Controller and I was wondering if I can use it but still run my standard boost. Will using this boost controller make my turbo spoil quicker even if I still have my turbo running at 7psi?

If it will work like this do I just leave the boost controller fully open?

Thanks

Matt

youll run probably 2pis over stock as a minimum, and yes, the more wound out it is the less itll run. cant have it wound out too much or the ball wont be held in place by spring and it could get messed up. if u want to run stock boost, dont worry with it - the difference between 7psi normally, and 7psi if you could get it with this is not huge. not the best investment if you are wanting to run stock boost

Blackrb20silvia asked this ages ago but I couldn't see an answer.

How do you connect it for external wastegate setups?

Boost reference ------ boost controller ---------- bottom port on wastegate?

leave top port open?

[GTAAAH]

bought mine friday on bay got on wednesday, after a bit off fiddling with annoying small gaps and annoyingly taught hoses i got it on and wow. I used to hate the way my car had no balls after 5krpm, now i barely notice it drop all the way through to 6200rpm when i shift. Also it spools at only 2000rpm, as compared to the old 2800rpm with the pod and 3000rpm stock standard. It spikes a little bit from .8 bar - .83 bar, .83 bar being 12 psi, so ill just leave it like that. 12 psi (.83 bar) is the recommended boost to run on these engines right?

chris is the wastegate setup your talking about the standard one? because if it is catkicker wrote up a good guide under the heading "installing turbotech boost controller" or something like that

[chris davey]

that is internal wastegate.

I have a single turbo 1jz-gte. I assume it goes in between boost reference point (in internal wastegate setup is the actual turbo housing) and the bottom of the external gate.

ohh k i only half read your post, youve got a toyota engine or something, i thought you had a black rb20. Gotta start sleeping more

[Booya]

Don't know how that got there. I have toyota 1jz-gte with large single turbo, external wastegate. Use this controller inline with bottom port on wastegate?

If he gave you the tracking number, ring up auspost and get them to look it up. If not ask him for it. Mine came in one of those express post envelopes. Check the mailroom blokes pockets to, i work in a mailroom and its funny how easy it is to claim stuff missing, mwaha
