I am looking around for a manual boost controller and it seems there are near endless options around ranging from $20 for a rubbish looking eBay special to well over $100.
I have seen a few Turbosmart Boost Tee's for $80ish, apparently they will do 0-30psi, which is more than enough for me as I'll only be going to 10psi or so for now.
Does anyone have any particular recommendations?
I imagine a few people here would have the Turbosmart boost tee's, how do you rate them? Do they hold boost okay? Any boost spikes? How often do they need adjustment to maintain correct boost level?
hey mate. i run a $60 drift branded one (got it from autobarn) in my rally car. i run 10psi and it holds boost well, haven't noticed any creep yet and the tuner had no dramas with it. only problem i had is it comes with a flimsy bracket so had to zip tie it up a bit
I have a Dawes Valve and my ball at times will get stuck in the spring and I would then get to much boost.
You say to remove the ball and spring. Why do you need to do that and is that only for the Turbosmart or all manual boost controllers?
Mine turned up today, very quick postage as it was shipped yesterday.
Wound the boost up to 10psi, boost is holding steady. It was easy to fit and easy to adjust.
Turning the fuel up has given it a bit of a kick in the ass too
