hi there all,
regarding this thread lets clear it all up,
pete emailed us asking about decats, i think he has got a bit confused with boost controllers.
the question asked in the beginning was:
"Why do you not recommend a reducer ring?"
"Also boost controllers CAN NOT lower boost, only raise it. I feel you're heading for legal trouble if you advise someone to fit a decat and not fit a restricter ring as the turbos could reach boost levels which drastically reduce the life of the turbos. Not to mention hitting fuel cut and the troubles that will cause!"
At no point did we say that a boost controller is capable of reducing boost below the factory preset level, it can only control boost of a higher level than standard, due to the mechanics of the vehicle.
On a jap spec you would still need a restrictor ring which we put into the first decat. purely because jap spec turbos wastegates are not capable of flowing a large enough volume of air.
Thanks
