New products from HKS for the TII...anyone have one?

It's made by HKS, it's an actuator kit for the turbo to raise and lower boost very similar to the way that us N/A guys hook up the whole T valve to the auxilary ports to control when they open (the amount of air that's let in). It's pretty cheap $108, just curious as to whether or not anyone has this. Us N/A guys could use it too if we tried (obviously for different reasons ), so this is pretty much for anyone who's creative.

While I'm at it...there is also a new cat from Apex, while it's not "for our cars" of course it could be made to fit. They have plenty of stats on it's flow and power output vs a straight pipe (it's a race cat) with a dyno chart to show power differences also. It's got large diameter piping to promote flow also, blah blah blah (75-80mm). It looks pretty promising.

or you could spend $20 on a MBC off ebay. it would probably work better, cost less, easier to install. and eaier to adjust.

Okay this is the last thing that I think I'm gonna show today ...but it's quite important to me. It's a vent that is used to promote flow through an object/aero part whatever. For those who have turbo cars (and those with N/A cars with different setups) you can gain much greater cooling and efficiency by using these types of products, also those of us who don't like gawdy looking bonnets can also benefit because we can just graft them onto the stock bonnet for better cooling (and a spot of downforce )).

it also has nothing to do with a "t" vavle to control air. it adjusts the rod between it and the wastegate.

I like how it says "89-91 rx7 13b-rew" they really know their stuff.

and also

"instructions for use. Increased boost pressure could result in engine failure due to a lean fuel supply. it is highly recommened that a fuel supply safety device like a hks fuel cut defencer (FCD) or an hks f-con be used in conjunction with increased boost pressure."

ya lets crank up the boost and add an FCD "fuel supply safty device" LOL

Manual Boost Controller. I'm using the FelixWankel/Home Depot Racing version.

AHHHHH I see now. I agree that it's proly easier and obviously cheaper to do this. I just thought it'd be nice to update people on whats out there if they just wanna buy something instead of making it .
