10/09/10 08:29 AM10/09/10 08:29 AM #4 They're basically the same thing. I've got the blue one in the skyline, it runs fine as long as you install it properly; I know alot of people who are using the same item without problems.
10/09/10 08:34 AM10/09/10 08:34 AM #5 Honestly, DO NOT use a manual boost controller. Repeat DO NOT lol. I can't be ar$ed explaining all the reasons why....its Friday and beer o'clock in the West

10/09/10 01:51 PM10/09/10 01:51 PM #7 Dude you dont need it professionally installed lol, All you do is cut the vacline to the wastegate and install and adjust.Both the ones you listed are sh*t. Reasons.sh*t setup, either use a ball and spring or some other gay way of doing things.Can cause spikesDont hold boost perfect.You can also get creep with em.They are just cheap and sh*t dude. Buy a proper boost controller or you will be sory lol.And they are also detectable anyway.
