I found a good cheap boost controller for $22!!!


Recommended Posts

the thread is 31 pages because people ask the same questions. wait till you get the boost controller, it comes with instructions. if they arent good enough, then come back and read the thread in reverse (im sure people have given install instructions many times in last 5 pages alone)

i'd go through the posts darrien.. it's on there.. + you get a guide in with the bleed valve..

pretty much take the T peice out that goes to the boost solenoid and replace it with the bleed valve..

Have read through most of this entire thread and saw only one comment on using these on a car with twin turbos and twin waste gates. Said to run the boost from both turbos through this controller and then to the two waste gates. Will this controller be able to handle this or will it be restictive. Please only reply if you know the answer and not assuming.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

Kevin,

One pressure input is required into the valve, the outlet is run into a t piece which branches off to both actuators. 100% works superb! Try and keep the combined length of hose as short as possible for better control.

Bought one of these today, great construction and a great price too! Just checked what boost I am currently running on my car, and it's set itself to 10PSI instead of the 14 I had it set to! Stupid GFB bleeder!

Hopefully this does a better job than the GFB that will be for sale soon :P

or a slap in the face

at default, mine was dropping boost (up to 8 then down to about 5), then we turned it up and now its about 9.5 and only spiking to a tad more, maybe 10. will be getting another for my other car :(

I retail them from Mark, TurboTech. A lot of people are mistaken that I designed or manafacture these, which I don't.

The reason I use them is I've found them to be excellent, almost no spiking and boost comes on as early or earlier than ANY EBC I have compared them too.

You can buy them from Mark directly, or through me.

i was around at the start when this whole turbotech craze began... except now my cars running fine n dandy! I'll vouch for the 'almost no spiking'

I've already made two of my mates buy one!

My fiddlings with this boost control unit is they work best with a lightly sprung wastegate actuator. :(

I have it drop less almost no boost on a 6-7psi rated actuator than I do my rb20det 10-11psi actuator.

:P

Just installed this controller today. Comments? No words could describe.

Screwed the bolt in JUST a little (was worried it would fall out!) and hit 16 PSI instantly. Backed off, went home, unscrewed it a bit and it's at 14-15 which is decent.

Only issue is, my SR20 only has stock injectors :) So I hope they hold this boost for a while! I don't plan on reaching 1 BAR all the time, basically only when I am racing at Calder park or something. Finally noticed my old GFB controller was MEANT to be set to 13-14 PSI, but it went back down to 10 after a while.

All in all, I don't think I could recommend a better bang-for-buck mod for your turbo car.

10/10 from me! ;)

see post #616 back the previous page (31) of this thread. i think its $35 including postage now which he's still kept cheaper for sau ppl than the ebay cost (42.40 something). ask him if u can go into a branch early tomorrow morning to deposit money, if he'll be able to send it out that arvo so u get it on friday.

maybe ask him if u can pay via paypal would be an alternative, as its instant.
