this can set up manually and very acurately. whereas the air injecotrs would need mapping in with the ecu, and re ajustment is then also not as easy. this can be run through to the inside of the car to give in cabin ajsustment as per the pic a couiple above.

Dave,
I'm affraid I only advise the use of mapped amal/air injectors as it prevents the user from altering the boost himself. People being the way they are often can't help themsleves in adjusting the boost, especially if they have in car adjusters, and thats why I really don't advise any in car form of adjustment, UNLESS its a properly mapped in car adjustment such as for air injector control.
Anything that gives the user adjustment is recipe for disaster. After you car has been mapped and setup, it should not be adjusted without seeking advice from your tuner!
(This advice is given after all the years of hearing "I only tweaked the bleed vlave a bit, honest")

In all fairness Karl whilst YOU dont agree with them its up to the individual!!!!After all if they do turn the boost up to far and melt then its more business for the tuners You should be recommending them..LOL

Phil.
Dont spose you have a spare set of air injectors do you?? Just need the actual injectors, not the rest.

i dont have it run into my dash, you could though, ive kept my lines as short as posssble and have my regs mouted inbetween the cam belt cover and slamp panel, so the total length of pipe runs is not more than the original to the lectron valve and t piece.

true, and it cant limit the boost in LOS,
with the boost im running (and once my new secs monitor is installed) i can monitro charge temps with alarms and theoretically with the chargecooler/intercooler, it shouldnt exceed the shut down point.

Ive used this adjustable system for several seasons , in fact i Bought Phils when he advertised it as it was Cheap compared to what they ususally are. I previously had a bleed valve in the car which came with it ,it blew out at Snetterton costing me a 3rd place and wasn't best pleased, this new system is very adjustable , very accurate and very simple . It did however tempt me to " tweek the boost " down the straight to clear back markers which did lead to high ACT's , but a bigger intercooler will sort that for this car. As long as you are sensible it works very well , the car was responsive and it allowed for changing conditions , like a damp track . RS components are very easy to deal with , i hold stock of most of the Norgren 6 mm Pipe ends to make these kits up now.

Depending on turbo mate!
Air injectors aint safe if they fail as you get max boost
Escos amal like me i guess although i am still on testing

Ranj u say turbo smart e-boost. i have heard electronic boost controllers struggle with high boost applications, hows the turbo smart? I know someone who had an apexi and over 24 psi it was a bit unpredictable

high boost is no probs with eboost, rod runs 2.5bar, with near 700 od bhp.
sunny has bought and sold on many electronic controllers and so far has found this to be the best for te job in his case.
yum360 also uses this (2.4bar) i wil be using this, mark also uses on his 550hp evo aswell

here are the pics installed on my car, it is quite neat (apart drom the long bolt that need cutting down - i know) and the lenghts of pipe run are minimal.

looks good have been looking a a few of these mechanical boost controllers, including turbo smarts gated ones:
http://www.turbosmart.com.au/boost_c...lves_gated.htm or
http://www.boostcontroller.com/index...6category%3D13
why would your sytem be better than these? I know with these you cant dial in things like a spike, but can u with yours?

the dawes device was cheap, (i had the "race" version which had a lighter ball bearing inside, allegedly made it spool up faster, but when you think about it, nothing other than a change in the design of the turbo could actually do this, never mind the boost controller. it is v simple to fit v small, buti had it stick open a couple of times and had to take it to bits to free it off and re build it (only a 20 second job mind) it would hold 1.5 bar of boost fairl well, but there is only a fixed bleed hole in the top to allowhow fast it is allowed to build boost before it controls,
the beuty of the 2 valve system is that it allows the rate of boost increase and the max boot level to be both ajusted , indipendantly of each other.
my car is off the road at the moment so haven't actually tested it in anger and does need puttin on the rollers for a good run up/down the revs and boost to check that the chip is fuelling for the boost that is dialed in on the regs.

Dave, i understand how ur system works. From what i can see, the first valve will not open untill a certain pressure, preventing creep. I have done a few variations in plumbing on my car, and find that with a -34 i get no creep at all.
From what i can see, it doesnt allow u to alter the spike. This is purely a function of wastegate response time?
