Fitting a mechanical boost controller.

Its an ebay rip off of a turbosmart controller. An I reckon you can do away with the t piece all together.

Be aware the cheap ones are known to be quite sensitive and like to bleed off too much

You guys are legends, so by looking at the pic's and as 30psi says, i could lose the t-piece?

Dont see how can you loose the t-piece when the big bit aint got a third bit to bleed off with

Bleed was the wrong thing to say. Its a ball and spring jobby I'm assuming. Best get it open and see, but yeah otherwise you need that.

yea the cheep controllers are seen as bleed valves and can be very prone to spiking in the boost and i ran one of the apex performance manual ones for i while and they come highly recomended. I would agree with you 30psi as to ditch off the t-piece. Every manual one i have seen only has 2 ports... in and out which you just put inline on the pipe that goes on to the actuator

Best get it apart, if its a bleed valve then you will need the t piece, if its a ball and spring job it won't
