I'm thinking about making this mandatory for everyone that I tune locally. It's good insurance.

JTMS3 02-11-2012 08:36 AM

Add me to the wish list.

rfinkle2 02-11-2012 09:06 AM

I just noticed this thing is good up to ~45 psi? LOL.

mrmonk7663 02-11-2012 09:16 AM

I'm down for one Lex.

It's a 4 Bar map sensor - so 40 psi :) That should cover most people however unless you're driving a diesel truck.

Gringo East 02-12-2012 01:34 PM

I definitely want one! This is sweet, it would put my mind at ease.

mtlms3 02-14-2012 12:28 PM

In.

Do you have any left of those 7?

I am currently having a heck of a time with overboosting that the dealer is blaming on my Forge . . . funny thing is that I only overboost when I am running stock tune (AP uninstalled for dealer visit).

starscream 02-14-2012 12:34 PM

TBH I dont think he has many if any left. Its more of a GI. I know I tried to get in on one and unsure if I 100% am...and I was one of the first to respond. lol

Keep the list going folks. I have already started the ordering process for 30 more. For those of you who have contacted me and are receiving the initial units, expect invoices to go out the week of the 20th. The same week is when the initial units will be ready to ship.

the_rolex_guy 02-14-2012 02:26 PM

Kewlz. I cant wait .

Dano 02-14-2012 05:07 PM

*goes out to contemplate mounting location in bay*


.... fuse box top already spoken for with WMI and FS controllers ....fuck then I need a place for the AIC1 injection controller.....need to build something super cool like the audio guys build for amps and such...lol

My pos hks failed me at just the right time for this.

zpele 02-16-2012 06:35 AM

@Lex why don't these work with the HKS? I must have missed the knowledge train.

Not that is matters, but doesn't 4 bar = 58 psi?

pebenito 02-16-2012 08:40 AM

Don't forget that 1 bar is atmospheric pressure, so it measures 3 bar of boost.

IIRC HKS is a "push" type BPV so it needs PSI to actually open the valve. GA works with pull type valves that when boost is removed from the top of the valve it opens. I may have that term exactly backward :) The only thing GA can currently do is block the boost signal from the top of the BPV thus allowing the boost in the charge pipe to force the valve open.

Veniversum 02-16-2012 12:40 PM

Don't add me to the list since I have 2 months before getting my car once I leave afcrackistan.

However, once I start doing my mods this is something I would love to have from day 1, along with a damn occ.

Count me in... $180 for more safety.... You would be stupid not to buy this thing.

Im going to be in England until March 9th. I will try my best to keep up with this so I dont miss out. Picking up a FMIC and TB exhaust here soon. PERM tune and this should go well together.

I am interested in this item.

Lex 02-18-2012 08:36 PM

Thanks for the great interest guys. 30 more are on the way. I will have a lot more info + feedback from the initial group while the next batch is being made. I have been out of town the last few days so this is why I haven't been around much.

Dano explained it correctly above. The HKS is designed so that boost in the charge pipe seals the valve. The GA needs the BPV to relieve the charge pipe pressure while there is pressure in that charge pipe. Since the HKS type valves are sealed by boost alone, the GA can't open these while pressurized. You may also notice that with an HKS you might get a bit more compressor surge due to their design.

spnkr21 02-18-2012 08:59 PM

I get a lot of surge with my hks.

Yeah, that's the shortcoming of that design and why it's not used in OEM applications.

spnkr21 02-18-2012 09:03 PM

I think it's exaggerated with bt and part throttle aswell.

Sid3wayS 02-21-2012 06:17 AM

Thats why I got rid of mine... Ive always had some surge with it but lately after installing my ets tm it got ridiculous.
