G'day guys, just want to know if anyone has had any experience with the following boost controller. They seem pretty good with an amazing price.

Had one on my starlet turbo. The turbo spooled up heaps faster. Was a really good mod for the money.

Ive also used one of these before, it was on my R33 Skyline.

Worked a charm, i only wound an additional 4 PSI or so out of it but it seemed to come on quicker also.

Just dont wind too far buddy or you will be emptying your CAT of exhaust wheels in no time

I had one of these... Worked great but due to the way you have to connect it up.. It was a pain to even out the spiking... I chose to buy a EBC (electronic boost controller) and spiking isn't an issue now.. I really strongly think it would be wise to buy a EBC instead of this one... Long term and for later on if you wanted stable boost you would be better off!

The main plan for this was just to go to 12psi, no further (car currently runs 9-10 even with an exhaust done)I wish to keep the turbos in one piece so wont be doing anything stupid with it.
The manual controller is just a trial more than anything, if it works well and good if not i'll get an EBC. Thanks for your input guys.

Installed the boost controller last night. When I had all the intake pipes off the car I had a look at the turbos, basically no shaft movement and they looked really clean which makes me happy.
Car is set to 12-12.5 psi and goes well, no boost spikes like you'd expect with a normal boost tee.
