Product Information

Full details

The Turbosmart Boost Tee Manual Boost Controller is for drivers of turbocharged vehicles seeking enhanced engine performance and precise boost management. Its key benefit is the ability to significantly increase boost levels (often 100-200% over base spring pressure) for a dramatic power and responsiveness gain. A potential caveat is that precise tuning requires knowledge of turbo systems and can impact engine longevity if not set up correctly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Turbosmart Boost Tee?

The primary benefit is the precise manual control over turbocharger boost pressure, allowing users to significantly increase power and responsiveness in their turbocharged vehicles.

How much can boost pressure be increased with this device?

It is common to achieve 100% to 200% increases in boost over the vehicle's base spring pressure.

Is this boost controller suitable for all turbocharged cars?

It is generally compatible with most turbocharged gasoline engines. However, users must ensure their vehicle's engine and drivetrain can safely handle the increased boost levels.

What does the 'Unique Gate Feature' do?

The Unique Gate Feature is designed to optimize boost response, ensuring the turbocharger delivers maximum power delivery quickly when needed.

How do I set and lock my desired boost level?

You adjust the boost level by rotating the knob. Once the desired setting is achieved, tighten the anti-tamper locking ring to secure it.

What materials is the Boost Tee made from?

It is manufactured in Australia from high-grade brass and billet aluminum for durability and reliability.

Does this product require professional installation?

While installation can be done by a knowledgeable enthusiast, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and to assess the vehicle's capacity for increased boost.

Troubleshooting

Boost pressure not increasing or is inconsistent.

Check all hose connections for proper sealing and ensure they are connected to the correct ports. Verify that the wastegate actuator is functioning correctly and not leaking. Ensure the adjustment knob is turned clockwise to increase boost.

Engine knocking or pinging under acceleration.

This indicates excessive boost or improper air/fuel mixture. Immediately reduce boost pressure. Consult a qualified mechanic to check fuel quality, ignition timing, and air/fuel ratios.

Difficulty adjusting boost level.

Ensure the locking ring is loosened before attempting adjustment. If the mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of penetrating lubricant may be applied (ensure it doesn't contaminate internal components) and worked gently. Avoid forcing the adjustment.

Boost leaks detected.

Inspect all vacuum lines and connections. Replace any cracked or brittle hoses. Ensure all fittings are securely tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant and noticeable increases in engine power and acceleration.
  • Offers precise manual control over boost levels for fine-tuning performance.
  • Durable construction from premium materials ensures longevity.
  • Compact size simplifies installation.
  • Secure locking mechanism prevents accidental changes to boost settings.

Cons

  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper installation and tuning.
  • Aggressive boost increases may reduce the lifespan of stock engine components if not managed carefully.
  • Manual adjustment can be less convenient than electronic boost controllers.
  • Performance gains are highly dependent on the specific vehicle and supporting modifications.
  • Not suitable for novice users without prior turbocharging experience.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Installation Location: Mount the Boost Tee in a convenient location within the engine bay, ensuring it's accessible for adjustment.
  2. Hose Connections: Connect the "IN" port to the turbocharger's compressor outlet or wastegate actuator line. Connect the "OUT" port to the wastegate actuator.
  3. Vent Port: Ensure the "VENT" port is unobstructed and free to vent to atmosphere or connect to a suitable vacuum line.
  4. Adjustment: Rotate the adjustment knob to set the desired boost level. Clockwise increases boost, counter-clockwise decreases it. Secure the locking ring.

Compatibility:

This controller is designed for turbocharged gasoline engines. It is generally compatible with most factory and aftermarket turbocharger systems. However, always consult your vehicle's service manual and ensure your engine's components (pistons, rods, clutch, etc.) can handle the increased boost pressure.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect all hose connections for leaks or damage.
  • Keep the Boost Tee clean; use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check that the adjustment knob and locking ring are secure.
