Damn.... I was in Silverwater today speaking to a mechanic would have been good to drop in.

How much u reckon a decent boost controller is worth ? (failing getting one for XMAS, DumHed and myself will be building one).

What brands do you recommend for the other stuff also ?

Anyone know how much for this and the pod, I like it: http://www.advan.co.nz/images/10060.jpg <- Apexi.. yes plz

you can get all these gear from revrite too dude.
he'll prolly give ya a good deal if all the work is gonna be done there

revrite is a turbo smart and blitz outlet

if your after a pod filter my unifilter is up for grabs.
i bought it for 190 about 2 months ago. you can have it for $120... firm on that dude. i'll give ya the oil for it too.. + the heatshield around it if you want.

i'm gonna get a blitz one instead and cover it in a proper box...
pics are up on the revrite site if you wanna geezz..

laterz..

get an apexi afc if you can
they look cool =P






" f*kin line graph.. " - personal joke

wat about a cheapo simota pod from autobarn? i got one on my pulsar and it works great. i think it was aroun $80 including adapter

id just get a bleed valve, that way u dont end up flicking the 'ultra high boost' setting all the time my mate got a $50 home made special off ebay and it works great and never loses boost. u just use a spanner to loosen off a spring inside of it which moves a ball bearing. simple, effective, cheap dont go a turbosmart one ive heard they leak sometimes.

as for guages, try and get a boost one with a memory, that way u dont have to keep yur eyes on it while yur testing n stuff. maybe try wreckers 1st for a plastic pillar guage holder

pressies.. hahahha. funny
you should just give em a gift registry like a wedding hehehehhe

the BLITZ - i don't know the prze yet but i think i wont get it.
its still too large.

i'm looking for a smaller one so i can fully wrap it around the sielding stuff and just run a ductting from the front now i've got extra space heheheh

Mayhem..
sorry to say but those apexi gauges are the older ones.. dun know if they still make them.. hehaehea..
but since being an older model it should be cheaper to buy around $400
The newer versions dun have the buttons on the gauge instead they use a control box like the DEFI gauges... and the blitz.. well they're too dayem pricey but nice...

$400 ????? WTF ???

I think i have seen them heaps cheaper on the net... around $200 AUS

Will keep looking... thnx for all the suggestions ppl... keep them coming.

$200... that's prob for the mechanical ones..
Well I haven't seen a Apexi Electronic boost gauge for anywhere near $300 yet...
but if u do find sum lemme know
http://www.perfectrun.com.au/performanc ... series.htm

http://www.perfectrun.com.au/performanc ... eries2.htm

Mechanical is fine for me... I mean I would rather spend the extra money on mods that give me performance gain....

$2000 is the limit... I am not too fussed on brand, as long as its quality.

Open to suggestions

I am going to build one of the boost controllers from Autospeed, the one used on their Audi S4.

Has two adjustment knobs:

First is for a bleed fpor actual boost pressure.

Second is to control wastegate creep, from factory (gradual boost increase to keep it smooth in power delivery), to the wastegate staying shut until beak boost therefore hitting very hard and sudden.

http://www.autospeed.com/A_0670/page1.html

http://www.autospeed.com/A_0685/page1.html

They are the type of things controlled by electronic units except obviously its not incabin and doesn't have fancy displays and stuff.

Cost around $150 for parts.

Maybe you and DumHed could incorporate some sort of incabin control to it to remotely control the knobs. I would be up for that.
