Getting steel braided lines? And why not just manual boost controller or do you want better control
How much better are they than stock anyway? I know nothing of turbos really

Neither really, I mean I know the fundamentals but I lack experience lol

I know manual boost controllers a prone to boost spikes and stuff. I have read good electronic boost controllers can reduce lag plus you have the bonus of preset boost settings with some :) Idk plus gadgets are cool.

Yeah i will get what does the job best, I can buy them all made up and they are usually braided. Not too fussy about my engine bay ( if you haven't noticed lol ) I just like to drive it!!!

The ball and spring type MBCs are less prone to spikes than the bleed valve types. Turbotech ones are $30, so it's no big loss if it you find you want a EBC. MBCs are easier to set up too.

That T04E will be laggy as. You should start looking into the GTS-R HR31 RB20's, they ran one from factory. They have an insane exhaust manifold to boot too.

its not lag its foreplay ;) lol nah thanks for the advice though.

Yeah I have one of those cheap taps installed, But the spring was so strong it was making the turbo free spool. so I removed the ball and spring. Obviously the tap does nothing atm. Gotta fix it soon.

yup :) I can't even blow through the tee piece with the ball in there. Spring has to be waaay too tight. Im thinking its a knock off and they just threw any old spring in. But I also took out the nylon seals because they were leaking -.- so i lock tighted them in.

You can see why I have zero faith in manual boost controllers lol
