Boost Controller

Featured Replies

okay so I'm having the turbo bits but onto my N/A motor, and the tuner said instead of using the factory boost solenoid that requires the xr6t computer/pcm I can use an after market boost controller

I'm not after anything overly fancy with in cabin controlls just something that can be in the engine bay and set to a certain level (wont be changing boost anyway since the tune will be for a set level)

was looking at this im wondering if it will work fine with my car?

Turbotech manual turbo boost controller- THE ORIGINAL! - eBay Turbo Parts, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Sep-10 08:13:05 AEST)

also where to do the 2 lines go? one in the actuator and where's the other line go to?

thanks

Hey mate that's not a boost controller that's a bleed valve. They are pretty dodgy things to use I ran one on my drift pig. Buy a proper one

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.

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 spikes

Dont 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.
