Slick way to mount manual boost controller

[87geeinn]

Decided to move the location of my manual boost controller and came up with a pretty neat way of mounting it. It does require drilling and tapping a hole in the heat shield though.

Looks pretty good.

I have mine mounted to the heat shield also but i used the original 2 mounting bolt holes for the shield so i didn't have to drill any holes in my chrome shield.

Looks good!

One concern I would have is the heat that is involved at that particular spot. Right behind the heat shield and right above the downpipe.

nice and clean.

Here's mine and the heat has never been an issue and works perfect.

HAH HAH !! not a chance. That's the very first one that DC Tech (Ed Brewer) made. I sent him some turbo mounting brackets and he gave me their very first one and when I received it it was so polished it looked like chrome but I took it right down and had it powder coated my blue.

Cool, I would just be hesitant I guess. Lol

87Geenin and m233roller,
I haven't seen those type of boost controllers, What type are those that you guys are running? How do you like them?

The black one is made by Hallman.

How do you like the performance abd function of these controllers vs the rjc racing ones? Are they all about the same, or is a certain that the other?

I have personally used Hallman Boost Controllers on all of my turbo cars with absolutely no issues. I was quite happy to see that there was on on my Buick when I purchased it.

Is the turbo spool with the hallman controller when used on larger , non stock turbos just as fast as the rjc turbo spooling?

I had this one I made for my RJC....but ScotW wanted it...so it's on his white car now. I have to make a new one.

I cannot definitely say yes or no considering this is my first go at a Buick. My SRT4 Neon had a stock as well as a DBB AGP 50 trim on it. The spool was totally different just due to the huge difference from stock to big turbo also factoring in the DBB setup in the 50. If I remember correctly I would get full boost on stock turbo set at 19lbs at 2600rpm compared to 3300rpm on the 50trim with 22lbs.

Hallman uses a ceramic Ball as apposed to a steel. So it does react a but faster.

That is one clean set up! Looks really good man.

For those with the Hallman unit; should I expect 1 pound per full turn or half turn? I have the standard spring in ATM. Thanks.
