Boost Controller.

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey guys, Im running a completely stock R34 GTT, with the exception of a K & N pod filter..

i was just wondering, would i get any more power, by simply installing a boost controller? and whats the maxium all the stock stuff can take?

if u have any other ideas that would increase my power and are simple mods, please let me know

cheers.

I was planning on doing it this weekend, so any input would be great.

The stock turbo does tend to break around 12psi but some have run higher and not had any/many problems. It all depends on the amount of reliability you want.

The first thing would be to remove your restriction i.e Exhaust. If you're going to put a boost controller on, you may be able to up the boost a little.

I have 3" split dump exhaust system, cold air box with pod filter but I now have high-flowed my turbo. I'm running 12psi without a problem but I'm not pushing it much in this heat and my front mount cooler should be here next week.

Most people who have increased the boost in their car have at least exhaust done.

get a full 3" exhaust before trying to put anymore boost into it

Oh ok thanks guys, with th exception of puttin a 3' exhaust, is there any other things that would increase the power, or should i simply go with the new exhaust then FMIC, then boost controller?

thanks

Well u could try isolating the air your pod sucks in. Look at making a heat sheild or something similar. It may not make too much of a difference power wise but its a step in the right direction.

Other mods I've heard of is removing some of the rubber seals around the bonnet to allow more air flow.

does it really matter how cold the air going into turbo is, doesnt it all end up the same temp after going through the turbo?\

A lot of people tend to get a boost increase after installing a turbo back exhaust. So it may be a wise idea to invest in one of them. Will probably get a 2 - 4 psi increase simply from a turbo back exhaust. A half decent front mount setup won't go astray either.

indeed it can make a big difference with a good cold air induction setup/pod vs just a pod sucking hot air
