grothie, it goes between the turbo nipple and the wastegate nipple spliced into that rubber line.

First saw the pressure regulator idea on Auitospeed.
You also use a pressure relief valve in conjunction with the pressure reg.

There is a link at the bottom of the page to the firm that sells the regulators

Sigmaproject, i think that grey capped valve is a pressure relief valve.

You are right, got my regulator and relief valves mixed up.

You need both inline. They are probably more suited to external wastegates.
The relief cuts off the signal until it reaches the level that you set manually. Once it reaches that point it will open and send the signal to the wastegate. Only thing is it does not regulate the pressure, so the boost will just keep rising until the max that the turbo can produce.

The signal pressure flows freely throught the pressure regulator until it reaches the level set, and will not allow the boost to go above this setting.

As you can see each one has a job to do. I have both of mine set to 15lb.
So no wastegate creep at all. Slight spike when it reaches 15 lb, but its usually low in the rev range ,so not a problem.

I must agree with MrCordial the Turbotech boost controllers off ebay rock. For the money they shit on turbosmart and all the other bleed valves that spike their arses off. As long as you do the lock nut up tight on the turbotech one there is no problem and no spike or change in boost what so ever.
